Dear producers,

For decades, top varieties of wheat have been created in the very center of the granary.

Thanks to their high yields and quality, wheat varieties of the Agricultural Institute Osijek have been at the forefront of wide production in the Republic of Croatia and the region for a number of years.

We are offering you the best materials.

We are grateful for your trust and wish you high yields.
