From Tradition to Innovation – The Story Behind the DigiAgriFood Success Story | Nuts Hellas
In the heart of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, specifically in Lefki, Xanthi, Nuts Hellas proves that innovation can flourish even under the most demanding conditions.
Founded by Nikos Vrachiolis, the company began in 2012 when he and his wife decided to transform their family land into a modern walnut cultivation model.
With studies in Information Technology and Economics, respectively, they combined their knowledge and love for the land to create a dynamic export-oriented business, which today cultivates more than 140 stremmata of the Chandler walnut variety.
