In this way we obtain a high quality product with multiple uses such as the food industry, which represents our main channel, cosmetics or energy.

The history of Gruppo Manara`s seed activity began in 1963 when Luigi Manara, owner of a small agricultural shop, dedicated himself to the reproduction of small-grain cereal seed with the agronomist Lionello Dusi. Over the years Manara seeds became a symbol of quality and began to be marketed throughout Italy. Today, Gruppo Manara, leader in the production of small-grain cereals with 22% of the market shares, sells different varieties of soft and durum wheat, barley and triticale. The seed area, in addition to the marketing of cereals, is divided into different activities: the selection of seeds for small-grain cereals thanks to modern selection facilities, the storage and drying of cereals, corn, soy, sunflower and rapeseed, the production of rapeseed and sunflower oil with a high-tech squeezing plant, cogeneration plants, collection and marketing contracts.
