Certified material
CIV is a multiplication center recognized by both National and European Certification for the production of certified plant material for tree crops and base material for strawberries. Its mission is to ensure the highest quality and health of nursery material through rigorous certification processes and a constant commitment to research and innovation.



The QVI label
Thanks to the collaboration between industry players, CIV actively contributes to the work of CIVI-ITALIA, the national consortium recognized since 1993 as the sole representative of the professional sector for the development and management of voluntary certification programs.
The QVI (Qualità Vivaistica Italia) label represents the outcome of this commitment. This voluntary certification ensures superior quality standards compared to the EU Certificate, including:
- Increased phytosanitary controls
- Analysis of a broader range of harmful organisms
- More rigorous control frequency and methods

The QVI label guarantees plant health and genetic conformity of the variety.
