IT’S HOPED THAT Europe’s first real corn tortilla factory will be set up in Ireland.
Dublin-based restaurateur Philip Martin has launched Blanco Niño, Ireland’s first crowd funded agri-business project.
Niño plans to have over 600 acres of Irish farm land growing high quality non GMO corn maize for their tortilla and nacho chips within five years.
The company also plans to create 30 jobs in the same period at their production facility in Fingal in North County Dublin.
Funding
Blanco Niño’s crowd funding campaign via the Crowd Cube platform is seeking investment of £60,000 (€73,000) in exchange for 6.64%, but with a stretch funding goal of £200,000 (€244,000) in exchange for 22.15%.
The Crowd Cube platform allows for investment of as little as £10 (€12.17) and has seen Blanco Niño already funded by over a third of its target in the first 10 days of its 60 day campaign.
There is no comparison in taste between Blanco Niño’s product and the standard supermarket tortilla.
