As a retailer, you’re looking for the tomato that customers will come back for.
Saiko Star is a true taste sensation: sweet, juicy, and bursting with flavour. Its firm bite and crisp crunch make every mouthful satisfying, while the smooth skin ensures a pleasant eating experience. This is the kind of tomato that turns first-time buyers into loyal fans.
To meet retail standards, you need a baby plum tomato that delights customers, performs well in-store and ensures a consistent high-quality supply.
Saiko Star brings strong visual appeal to your shelves, with a vivid red colour that looks fresh longer: no over-ripening, no dull displays. Its resistance to key viruses ensures consistent quality. With two production periods – spring and winter – retailers benefit from consistent availability throughout the year.

“Saiko Star is the first variety to offer this unique combination: premium taste and double resistance (ToBRFV and Cladosporium). Thus, securing a marketable product for both growers and retailers”
Wilko Kamerling, Senior Product Manager at Sakata EMEA.
As a grower, you can now count on consistent production thanks to Saiko Star’s resistance to ToBRFV which helps secure your harvest.
There’s more good news! Saiko Star F1 is the only variety on the market with resistance to Cladosporium (Pf: A-C,F), a critical advantage in humid coastal regions where this fungus thrives.
And it doesn’t stop at the field. You will also benefit from a product that retailers actively choose, thanks to its exceptional taste and ability to meet strict retail standards in terms of appearance, shelf life, and consistency.
In other words, Saiko Star is a premium plum tomato that delivers the reliability you need.
