The Vegetal Production Unit facilitates the cultivation and growth of plants, guaranteeing the provision of all the necessary tools to develop those projects which require the use of plants, and that their handling and facilities comply with current legislation

The mission of unit is to provide quality scientific-technological support to the emerging demand from research centres, organisations and companies whose field of activity is related to the agricultural and biotechnological sector.

The unit has many years of experience in the maintenance and propagation of plant species. Its infrastructure, human team and cultivation techniques are, therefore, committed to the continuous search for excellence.
