Finance, Holdings and More
Some of Granot’s holdings have been held by Granot for many years. Granot’s core operation has always consisted of agricultural and rural settlements in general, and Kibbutzes in particular. Granot is the largest holder of Tnuva shares among Tnuva’s Israeli shareholders. In recent years we entered into investments in agri-food-tech and agricultural innovations that overlap with our core activities (animal food, dairy farms and plant farming).
