Our long experience has given us a comprehensive knowledge of the sector, completed by findings made by experts in our laboratory or in collaboration with leading research centres.

In order to anticipate future needs and diversify our production, Nufri specialists also study geographical areas where the cultivation of fruit or vegetables gives the best results

Our R&D, fresh fruit and processed departments take part in numerous projects.

THE HOT CLIMATE PROGRAMME (HCP).
This is an international genetic variety improvement programme that involves Fruit Futur, the IRTA, and their New Zealand partners Plant & Food Research, in response to the challenges posed by climate change. As a partner of Fruit Futur, Nufri is an actively-participating member of the EAL Hot Climate Programme.

APPLEBIOME:
This project involves microbiome amd genomic analysis in apple germplasm in order to expand genetic resources and breed resilient varieties. Nufri is a partner in this organisation.

THE AL-BARED DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC IN-FIELD FRUIT DETECTION AND SIZING (FRUITSALZ).
Nufri supports this project.

PhotonFruit:
Digital monitoring for precision fruit cultivation using affordable photonic solutions. The project is led by researchers from IRTA and Agrotecnio-UdL, in collaboration with Nufri. This research initiative tackles the challenge of transferring cost-effective precision agriculture tools to the fruit-growing sector. The study will focus on assessing new monitoring methodologies based on low-cost photonic sensors, such as RGB-D cameras and solid-state LiDAR sensors.
