It was back in 1961 , when on the initiative of a group of farmers the “ Villasor Agricultural Cooperative Ortofrutticola ” was born in Villasor , in the province of Cagliari . Today, after 50 years, the Villasor Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative is one of the most important companies in Sardinia in the fruit and vegetable sector, specializing in artichokes . It currently brings together about 200 members with about 3,000 hectares of cultivated land in the Campidano plain just over 20 km from Cagliari. The nature of the territory, the fertility of the soils , the climateMediterranean, the presence of three rivers and rich underground strata, have determined, since ancient times, the propensity of the community of Villasor to agricultural production activities , even today the economy of the area is based on horticulture and cereal growing. Over the years, the Villasor Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative has continuously modernized and updated its technologies and organization to be able to respond to the changing needs of the market and to offer consumers increasingly controlled and guaranteed products .
