Corsica, a mountain-island with a strong Mediterranean climate (23.8°C summer, 347 frost-free days, 2,268 GDD), features agriculture shaped by topography: alluvial plains of the eastern coast (Aléria, Ghisonaccia), Balagne and Nebbio basins, inland micro-regions. Dominated by viticulture, orchards (clementine, kiwi, chestnut) and livestock, cereal field crops remain marginal. But the island's heat and light offer potential for niche crops: castor, high-oleic sunflower, winter pea, linseed on cool mid-altitude soils. Laboulet supports Corsican growers in emerging sectors with varieties adapted to this unique terroir, complementing traditional crops.
