About
Ramiro Arnedo S.A. is a Spanish private seed company founded in 1950 in Calahorra, La Rioja, specialising in the development and distribution of vegetable seed varieties adapted to Mediterranean and warm-climate production conditions. Core breeding crops include pepper (sweet, lamuyo and hot types), tomato (fresh market and processing varieties), bean, onion, melon, watermelon and lettuce. The company operates breeding stations in La Rioja and test nurseries in southern Spain and Morocco, allowing variety selection under high-temperature and water-deficit conditions typical of production zones supplying European vegetable markets. Ramiro Arnedo distributes seed through Spanish regional agri-cooperatives, national seed distributors, and directly to transplant nurseries. International sales reach Morocco, Algeria, France, Italy, Turkey and Latin America through dedicated export accounts and local distribution agreements. The company's pepper portfolio is particularly strong for the Spanish market, where fresh pepper production in Murcia, Almeria and La Rioja represents a major commercial crop. R&D investment focuses on disease resistance (TYLCV in tomato, Phytophthora in pepper) and adaptation for semi-mechanical harvesting operations.
