Agri-Obtentions S.A. is a specialized subsidiary of INRAE (the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment), serving as a crucial link between cutting-edge public scientific research and the practical needs of the agricultural industry. Founded in 1985, the company is headquartered in France and operates as the primary commercial vehicle for the plant breeding innovations developed by INRAE. By managing the intellectual property and development of genetic breakthroughs, the organization ensures that high-quality, scientifically validated plant varieties are effectively transferred from laboratory settings to the field, supporting sustainable agricultural progress on both national and international levels.

The company maintains a strong reputation for excellence in plant genetics, focusing on the selection and improvement of various crop species to meet the challenges of modern farming, such as environmental resilience and yield stability. While INRAE provides the foundational scientific expertise and breakthrough research, Agri-Obtentions manages the strategic deployment and commercialization of these genetic assets. Their efforts are pivotal in bridging the gap between fundamental botanical science and industrial application, allowing farmers to access high-performance solutions that are the result of long-term investment in public agricultural research and advanced breeding programs.
