In a bold move that redefines the intersection of agriculture, technology, and climate action, Global Olive Corporation (GOC) has launched a global campaign to tokenize 100 million olive trees, positioning the ancient crop as a modern-day climate solution and a pioneering green asset class.Unveiled in Dubai, the initiative aims to transform olive tree cultivation into a traceable, blockchain-enabled investment model. Beyond its investment potential, it also addresses global climate and sustainability challenges, key priorities aligned with the UAE’s environmental vision and the legacy of COP28.

A Green Solution Backed by Science

According to the International Olive Council, olive trees absorb up to 11.5 kg of CO₂ per tree per year. A plantation of 100 million trees could sequester over 1 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, an impact comparable to removing 217,000 passenger cars from the roads each year (US EPA).This aligns directly with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and recent regional pushes for nature-based carbon offset solutions.

Why This Matters for the UAE

While the trees are planted across climate-appropriate zones, including Georgia and the Mediterranean, the model is scalable and adaptable to arid-zone agriculture, making it a reference project for MENA investment funds, UAE family offices, and sustainable finance frameworks.In recent years, the UAE has positioned itself as a regional leader in green tech, sustainable finance, and digital innovation. GOC’s project unites all three.

From Tree to Token: Tracking Agriculture in Real Time

Each token issued by GOC is backed by a living olive tree. With drone surveillance, RFID chips, and real-time blockchain data, investors can trace each tree’s health, yield, and carbon capture performance, enabling a secure and transparent asset ecosystem.A typical hectare of olive trees creates up to 5 local jobs, supporting rural development and land regeneration across regions affected by drought, conflict, or economic downturn.

Not Just Finance—A Generational Impact

The token model includes returns from fruit harvest, premium extra virgin olive oil, and the trading of carbon credits. But GOC says the value is far deeper.With more than 1 million trees already planted, and backed by partnerships with Tether (the world’s largest stablecoin issuer) and the International Olive Council, GOC is setting a benchmark for nature-based digital assets in a post-COP28 world.

Climate Action Meets Digital Innovation in GOC’s Vision for the Future

Commenting on the intersection of environment, technology, and investment, George Svanidze, Founder and Executive Chairman of GOC, said:“With this initiative, we embark on a journey where environmental stewardship meets digital innovation and ethical investment. This is not just about planting trees or creating new assets, it’s about redefining prosperity itself, grounding it in climate action, transparency, and long-term value for both communities and investors.”
