ABOUT US

 

Semillas Fitó

Is a Spanish multinational, founded in 1880 in Sant Martí de Provençals, Barcelona. In these more than 130 years, it has gone from being a small seed company to becoming one of the leading multinationals in the sector of genetic breeding, production and distribution of vegetable and field crop seeds.

 

 

The company has managed to grow and successfully overcome the challenge of internationalization. The key to this growth has been its commitment to R&D&I, which receives an investment of more than 15% of annual turnover, making it the agricultural company that most invests in research.

Currently 65% of its turnover corresponds to exports, with sales in more than 70 countries.

Semillas Fitó is a clear leader in the Mediterranean and South American markets, and has ten subsidiaries and a direct presence in 10 other countries. Many of these centres have their own offices, research centres, test fields and hundreds of farmers who collaborate to improve and adapt each seed to local soils and climates.

We have firmly committed to remaining independent and family owned. Our vocation is to work closely with farmers to help them develop their businesses through our specialization in seeds. In addition, our staff have extensive experience and knowledge of the sector that enables them to advise on improvements and market trends.
