A different multinational since 1880

Semillas Fitó is a different kind of

multinational because since 1880 it has

worked hand-in-hand with the farmers

in each area, advising them on their own

lands, studying their needs and developing

the varieties that they need with them to

answer consumer demands

Experience,always offering maximum quality

Consumers want maximum quality

products with an unbeatable colour, texture

and flavour, whether it be tomatoes,

peppers, cucumbers, courgettes, melons,

aubergines, etc Semillas Fitó works with

distributors and supermarkets to ensure

this maximum quality for end customers

Semillas Fitó is the Spanish seed multinational leading the Mediterranean area

R&D+i,investing in innovation

Semillas Fitó, the sector leader in Spain,

invests more than 13% of its turnover in

R&D+i The Semillas Fitó research centres

have a highly qualified professional team

and the most advanced technologies to

allow them to develop new commercial

varieties each year

Semillas Fitó works on improving

varieties to adapt to different lands

and Mediterranean climates and has

experimental improvement stations in

Almeria and Barcelona (Spain), Sicily (Italy),

Antalya (Turkey), Jordan Valley (Jordan),

Agadir (Morocco) and Cairo (Egypt)

Proximity,improving with you

All Fitó seeds have been developed after

years of investigation and field tests

in collaboration with technicians and

producers and always thinking of the

demands of the agricultural foodstuff

industry, consumers and society Over 130

years improving each day along with the

farmers to offer the best varieties to the

international market

Two years after the purchase of the Les Cases de

Barbens 135 ha property in Lerida (Spain), this is now

beginning to take shape as a reference point in Semillas

Fitó’s future strategy in corn improvement 2013 was

the year in which the Semillas Fitó research plan

was developed in corn culture The company sought

to achieve new varieties adapted to the conditions in

the south of Europe, new technologies applied to corn

culture (watering systems, fertiliser, sowing densities,

and resistance to disease, etc ), research into alternative

crops (alfalfa, sunflower, sorghums, hay, etc )

Cases deLes

Barbens

A Reference Centre for improving

in Europe.

We are visited in Les Cases de Barbens

Numerous Fitó customers and distributors have visited

us in recent months, taking advantage of the excellent

state of the countryside in the Les Cases de Barbens

property The visitors took part in an initial talk in which

the route around the property and the future projects

were explained, before going into the field to see the

varieties

Recently too, work started on building the modern seed storage and processing centre in the same place The work, which involves a

strong investment from the company, is expected to last two years

Don BenitoAn R&D research station in Don Benito (Badajoz) for the development of long cycles.

• Research on the subject of corn toler-

ance to hydric stress in heat Resist-

ance to soil fungi: Cephalosporium

(with tests in the Guadalquivir and the

Tagus river valleys)

• The southernmost research station in

Europe

• Very good seed multiplication with re-

spect to its sanitary appearance and

very fast drying Excellent seed health

DEFI Genetics

On the past 30 October, Fribourg (Switzer-

land) was witness to the creation as of the

1st of January 2014 of the new company

DEFI Genetics, which will be held by the

multinationals DSP (with 45% of the sha-

res) and Semillas Fitó (with 55% of the

shares)

DEFI Genetics is developed with the aim of carrying out a programme of corn parental selection and hybrid cross for the early cycle

markets in the centre and north of Europe This new company culminates the process started two years ago with an agreement of

intentions signed between DSP and Fitó to achieve early corn varieties for the 200-300 FAO cycles and which allowed DSP to achieve

new funding for its corn program and Semillas Fitó to achieve its independence in early germ plasma

DSP is a multinational engaged in seed improvement, production and commercialisation In addition to corn, DSP also works with

crops such as wheat, triticale, species of hay and soya in cooperation with the Agroscope test stations DSP was founded in 1994 and at

the present time works in Switzerland with varieties that are marketed in more than 20 countries of Europe, North and South America

and New zealand

Semillas Fitó and DSP create DEFI Genetics, a company engaged in the genetic improvement of corn for the centre and north of Europe.
