The Associated International Group of Nurseries or AIGN^® as it has come to be known...is a worldwide organization which blends the diverse talents of a number of progressive nurserymen in the major growing areas of the world. The development of AIGN^® came as a result of a comprehensive study of the nurseries in the worlds major horticultural regions. Many of its members are vertically integrated or at least have direct links to the other levels of the fruit production and marketing systems of the world.

From the beginning the AIGN^® members have worked toward a common goal, to meet the needs of

growers including improvements in standard varieties as well as new selections. With the establishment of its worldwide network, members of AIGN^® are able to react quickly to world markets and new intellectual properties. In this new age of variety
management where marketing programs, inventory and quality assurance may mean the difference between success or failure of an intellectual property, AIGN^® has positioned itself to be an innovator and leader in this new method of product introductions.
