Prima Qualità BIO | Una scelta di vita

A life choice

About us

The Prima Qualità Bio Association promotes agricultural production in the Basilicata area according to quality schemes and European regulations for organic, integrated and PGI production.

It guarantees and certifies control and traceability of the production of organic products that respects the natural cycles of the earth and that controls its producers.

The PRIMA QUALITA' BIO project was born from the desire to guarantee the origin and traceability of food products.

Our goal is to promote the quality schemes, the territory and the production sector of Basilicata.

Organic production

Organic agriculture is a production system that regenerates the health of the soil, ecosystems and people. Organic farmers rely on natural processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions rather than the use of synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides. GMOs are not allowed in organic farming.

SQNPI

The national quality system of integrated production (SQNPI) has the purpose of certifying the agricultural and agro-industrial productions obtained in accordance with the integrated production standard.

Integrated production (or agriculture) is a voluntary production system that is implemented by respecting the technical standards established for each type of crop both as regards defense against adversities and for all other agronomic practices such as fertilization and irrigation.

Integrated pest management is a crop defense practice which provides for a drastic reduction in the use of pesticides by implementing various measures such as the fight against harmful insects through sexual confusion or autocide techniques (sterile insect technique) or through introduction of other insects that are their natural predators; the use of more resistant crop varieties; the use of crop rotation; the use of selective pesticides that eliminate only certain insects, etc.

Lucanian IGP oil

The cultivation of the olive tree in Basilicata has very ancient origins. Some archaeological excavations have revealed pieces of wood, olives, leaves and hazelnuts, dating back to the 6th century BC. And we owe the introduction in ancient Lucania of varieties that have adapted to the environment, such as the Maiatica, to the Greek colonists. The varietal panorama today includes Coratina, Leccino, Frantoio and Ogliarola, which together with the numerous local cultivars determine the specific characteristics of Lucano IGP oil.

Controlling a supply chain is important, having one is better!
