The Consorzio Italiano Vivaisti (CIV) was founded in 1983 through the collaboration of three key leaders in the fruit sector: Salvi, Mazzoni, and Tagliani. Since the beginning, our goal has been clear: to join forces to face the future challenges of agriculture, focusing on innovation. This vision led to the creation of our breeding program for Strawberry and Apple, followed by numerous research projects on other crops such as Pear, Cherry, and Rootstocks.
Today, we are among the European leaders in the genetic improvement of fruit crops, with a varietal portfolio that guarantees you excellent products tested worldwide.
