Agrumaria Corleone launches the Citrus Academy: education, innovation and the future of the Sicilian citrus sector

The Agrumaria Corleone Citrus Academy is born as the first center dedicated to the promotion, development and protection of the Sicilian citrus sector. A strategic project that represents a further step in the company’s growth journey and in its ongoing commitment to enhancing the citrus supply chain, with particular attention to quality, innovation and sustainability.

A vision focused on the future of the citrus industry

Presented as one of the key initiatives in the evolution of Agrumaria Corleone, the Citrus Academy is part of the company’s long-term strategy. Active for more than 130 years in the citrus industry, the company now operates internationally across the food, flavour, fragrance, nutraceutical and cosmetic sectors.

The Academy’s mission is clear:

“The Corleone Academy is the first center dedicated to the promotion, development and protection of the Sicilian citrus sector. Its goal is to foster a culture of continuous learning, promoting quality, innovation and sustainability throughout the entire supply chain.”

Education, research and innovation at the heart of the project

The Citrus Academy was created with the aim of becoming a benchmark for technical and scientific education in the citrus sector, building a bridge between industry, research and local communities.

As highlighted by the company’s management:

“With the Citrus Academy, we want to create a space where knowledge becomes shared value, capable of generating tangible innovation for the entire citrus supply chain.”

And further:

“Investing in education means investing in the future of our sector. Growth comes through the ability to pass on skills, culture and vision to new generations.”

A project dedicated to the sustainability of the supply chain

The Academy also aims to serve as a platform for discussion and development, promoting sustainable and innovative practices throughout the entire value chain, from cultivation to industrial processing.

From this perspective, the project further strengthens Agrumaria Corleone’s mission: not only to be a manufacturing company, but also an active player in the protection, growth and enhancement of Sicily’s citrus heritage.
