Elabored Estate

The Elabared Estate is a Government operated cooperative immediately outside the small town of Elabored, Eritrea.

In 1958 Fratelli De Nadai purchased Pietro Casciani's land and replanted with citrus for export.

During the ownership of De Nadai there was a great expansion of goods produced at the plantation, with the addition of a canning plant, dairy factory and winery.

[1] Production fluctuated during the Eritrean War of Independence, specifically after the massacre of the elders in the nearby village.

After Independence the EPLF (later the People's Front for Democracy and Justice) offered the plantation to private capital[1] however, no buyers availed themselves of the opportunity.
