Sicily, known for its agricultural tradition and favourable climatic conditions, is the ideal place for the development of new vegetable seed varieties. CapGen Seeds Italy will use half a hectare of crops in Sicily to study the adaptability of its seeds, focusing on the development of papaya and tomato, two key crops for the Italian market. This approach allows for in-house screenings to refine the seeds and ensure maximum quality and yield for Italian farmers. Antonino Fidone, Sales Manager of CapGen Seeds Italy, said: “This is a great opportunity both for CapGen Seeds and for the Italian market. Opening up the market to new companies is always a great benefit for the sector”.
Innovation and adaptability at CapGen Seeds Italy
The new branch in Sicily has as its main objective to strengthen the various varieties that the company has introduced in recent years. A team of specialists and technicians will work on improving and adjusting the seeds to suit the Italian climate and soil, ensuring the best results for growers.
Rafael Cremades, Managing Director of CapGen Seeds, said: “We are excited about the opening of our branch in Italy. This expansion will allow us to offer innovative agricultural solutions adapted to the needs of Italian farmers.

This will not only expand the company’s product portfolio, but also offer solutions specific to the needs of local farmers, promoting more sustainable and profitable agriculture.
