Plant Improvement Organization

At Voor-Groenberg Plant Improvement Organization, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of plant material certification.

Through our collaboration with breeding programs worldwide, establishment of nucleus plants, foundation and mother blocks, and adherence to the Plant Certification Scheme for Vitis, we ensure the development and distribution of certified plant material that meets the highest quality standards.

Our grapevine varieties undergo rigorous evaluation and testing to meet the requirements of the Plant Certification Scheme for Vitis. This scheme ensures compliance with the Plant Improvement Act, 1976 (Act No. 53 of 1976), which governs the certification and quality assurance of plant material in the viticulture industry. By adhering to this certification process, we provide grape growers with assurance of the genetic purity and authenticity of our certified plant material.
