Mountain Hazelnuts

Mountain Hazelnuts is a leading food production company committed to cultivating high-quality hazelnuts while creating significant social and environmental impact. Operating as Bhutan’s first 100% foreign direct investment, Mountain Hazelnuts partners with local smallholder farmers and community organizations, including monasteries and nunneries, to plant ten million hazelnut trees. This initiative supports household economics, community development, cultural preservation, and local ecosystems.

Mountain Hazelnuts is dedicated to ensuring that its operations contribute positively to the environment by stabilizing erosion-prone mountain slopes, rehabilitating habitats and watersheds, and sequestering atmospheric carbon. The company’s partner orchards are estimated to sequester approximately 8 million metric tons of carbon, and hazelnut trees provide a sustainable source of fuelwood, alleviating deforestation pressures. Mountain Hazelnuts incorporates best practices in stakeholder engagement, scientific assessment, traceability, and impact measurement.

With headquarters in Lingmethang, Mongar 43002, BT and an additional location in Thimphu, Thimphu 00000, BT, Mountain Hazelnuts continues to expand its operations and enhance its contributions to the local community and the broader hazelnut market. Mountain Hazelnuts is setting new standards for social and environmental impact entrepreneurship. We invite the manager of Mountain Hazelnuts to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform.
