Univiveros is one of Chile’s leading fruit and grapevine nurseries. It is part of the Unifrutti group, which has been operating in the country since 1983. The company was recently acquired by ADQ, an Abu Dhabi based investment and holding company with a broad portfolio company with a broad portfolio of global business platforms.
Our nursery supplies the Chilean fruit industry with a wide range of species, including cherries, apples, pears, kiwifruit, and grapes (table and wine). Univiveros’ importance lies not only in the volume of plants sold each year but also in its innovative approach to introducing new varieties to Chilean fruit farming from diverse origins. Currently, 90% of our sales are for varieties with intellectual property rights.
Univiveros propagates and distributes varieties from the most prestigious international Breeding programs, such as Sheehan Genetics LLC for table grapes, Bloomfresh, Sun World International, INIA – Biofrutales, Gisela® cherry rootstocks and Cornell University® Geneva series apple rootstock, among others.
In addition, we hold exclusive propagation licenses for important club kiwifruit varieties such as Kikoká and Dulcis.
Univiveros is a founding member of ANA Chile (Andes New Variety Administration), established in conjunction with other three of the most important Chilean nurseries. ANA manages varieties of cherries, apples, pears, table grapes, kiwifruit, citrus, and stone fruit, and is a member of the International New Variety Network (INN), ensuring a constant flow of new varieties for our company.
We are partners with SNFL Chile SpA, which has exclusively licensed Univiveros® for the propagation and distribution of plants belonging to the varieties of PMG Sheehan Genetics LLC to its licensees.
Furthermore, we are an active member of the Chilean Nursery Association (AGVF).
Behind our plants is the dedication and experience of a team of professional nurserymen and highly trained staff who have meticulously attended to every detail to deliver a product of optimal quality. Univiveros aims to provide the industry with plants of the highest standards of quality, health and traceability, contributing to the success in the establishment of our producers’ orchards, thus allowing them to make their investment profitable.
