From UC Riverside Labs to Global Markets

Luna UCR™ Avocado: One of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023

In 2023, UCR released the Luna UCR™ avocado (‘BL516’), a variety praised for its compact growth, exceptional taste, and high postharvest quality. Licensed exclusively to Eurosemillas, S.A., Luna UCR is expanding globally, celebrated at the Green Motion Avocado Summit with 35 international partners from 12 countries. Named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023, Luna UCR shows how international partnerships bring UCR innovations to the world.

Excalibur™ Asparagus: A New Standard for Global Production

Excalibur™ (cultivar ‘77-80’) is a high-yield, rust-tolerant asparagus hybrid that maintains vigorous plants for many years, licensed exclusively to Eurosemillas, S.A. for commercialization in Peru, China, Mexico, and the EU — the world’s top asparagus markets.

‘Tango’ Mandarin: UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection

The ‘Tango’ mandarin, developed by UCR scientists, is a seedless citrus variety that revolutionized the mandarin market by offering growers a fruit resistant to cross-pollination and highly desirable to consumers. Now licensed worldwide, Tango has become a staple in citrus groves across multiple continents, generating substantial royalty revenue for UCR. Its rise from experimental grove to global orchards captures the essence of how one variety can change what shoppers expect to find on store shelves.
