From Tunisian Roots To Global Aspirations

In the rural heartland of Sfax, where olive trees symbolize resilience and growth, the seed for AxA AgriVenture was planted. Our co-founder, Rabiaa Adalet, a native of Tunisia, drew inspiration from her childhood spent among these groves and the steadfast women farmers in her community.

With the leadership of German co-founder Sven-Axel Krentorz, AxA AgriVenture was founded to blend local tradition with global expertise. The aim is to enrich Tunisia’s agricultural legacy while empowering Tunisian women in farming.

At AxA AgriVenture, we are more than an olive farm; we are agents of positive change. Committed to combating climate change, our sustainable farming practices make Tunisia greener, one olive tree at a time. We empower rural communities by creating jobs, bolstering local economies, and promoting equality. We ensure fair pay for women farmers, recognizing their crucial role in agriculture and setting a precedent for gender equity in the sector.
