Agrovegetal was set up in 1998 as an initiative between the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and the regional government of Andalusia in order to produce new and better varieties of wheat, which would be trialled, registered and sold through the founding partners of the company (principally the farming cooperatives of the region). From this starting point, the company has blossomed through its collaborations with key actors within the supply chain, and has succeeded in becoming the second leading (national) market player for durum wheat, as well as having important breakthroughs in triticale and chickpeas.
