Vitácea Hijuelas was born from the joint venture between Grupo Vitácea Brasil, a national leader in the production of cloned grapevine plants, and Grupo Hijuelas, a Chilean conglomerate with more than six decades of experience and a presence in countries such as Peru, Mexico, Colombia, the United States, France and African nations.
The alliance combines Vitácea's nationwide reach and technical expertise with the advanced genetics, biotechnology capabilities and global presence of Grupo Hijuelas, positioning Brazil at the heart of an international chain of technology and solutions for high-performance fruit growing.
The new company's focus is the development of nurseries in Minas Gerais and Petrolina to supply the Brazilian market with fruit plants. The initial priority is berries and stone fruit, with internationally validated elite varieties adapted to the country's climatic conditions, produced through innovative micropropagation protocols with rigorous phytosanitary and genetic quality control.
By bringing together multidisciplinary teams and an established network of partnerships with national and international breeders, Vitácea Hijuelas aims to become an agricultural development platform with global reach, fostering joint research projects, varietal development and technology transfer for more efficient and competitive fruit growing in Brazil and Latin America.
Grupo Vitácea Brasil has established itself as the national benchmark for the production of clonal grapevine plants with guaranteed genetic identity and phytosanitary certification, whilst also offering specialised technical services for the wine-growing sector. With over twenty years of experience, it serves growers of all scales across Brazil, combining quality, innovation and technical support at every stage of vineyard and orchard development.
