About Us
Cora Seeds headquarter is in Cesena (FC), fatherland of vegetable seeds production in the world and where, ours greenhouses and trial station centre are used to carry out breeding, quality assessments and exhibitions of newly developed products. The development in genetics is achieved by a team of breeders who selects and defines new hybrids for the local and international market. This team of breeders works in collaboration with a biotechnologist who uses the latest biotechnology findings to genetically improve our products.
In order to guarantee seeds free from pathogens, CORA® SEEDS works with independent laboratories to test the pathogen resistance of our products and of the seeds imported from all over the world.

Research and Development
The aim of our research and breeding is to breed hybrids that can ensure the best performance across the different production areas, for that conventional breeding is supported by innovative biotechnology. We make pathogenic tests in our fields and laboratories to screen the resistance level of our material against most important disease and we do that for each species.
To this extent, a program of experiments are carried out in Italy and abroad; in Spain, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Serbia, Rumania, Turkey, Ukraine and other countries.
Together with partners and distributors we prepare trial fields and open days to examine and choose the products that best meet the local production requirements.
