After blooming «blue-blue» («sino-sino ») in the fields at the beginning of the summer, LINEN-FLAX does require specific equipment for its efficient harvest – linen-flax is not cut, but pulled with its roots -, and for its well-managed retting – allowing the bacteries from the humidity (rain or “rosee”) to eat the pectines glueing the fibers around the shives in the fields so the dried straw could be later bailed and “scutched” (fibers separated from the shives) in the mill.

DARLEEN will own the needed specific agro-equipment and offer the pulling, returning and bailing services to the Ukrainian farmers when needed. Those services will be paid by the farmers to DARLEEN.

When bailed, the farmers will sell their harvest to DARLEEN that will pay it according to the quantity and the quality (fiber content) of the dried and retted flax straw delivered.
