You are a medium to large-scale farmer
Maximise productivity with top-quality seeds

You play a pivotal role in meeting the global demand for fresh produce, whether in domestic markets or for export. Maximising output and ensuring optimal returns are your main goals, but commercial vegetable production comes with its own risks and challenges. That’s why Sakata offers tailored solutions to meet your needs and support your success.

Timely access to high-yield vegetable seeds

As a farmer, you demand timely access to high-quality seeds to achieve higher production and meet your quantity requirements.

Sakata produces a selection of high-yield vegetable varieties to optimise your performance.

Additionally, Sakata’s delivery system aims to minimise downtime to help you align with planting windows and seasonal conditions.

This enables you to utilize resources optimally, manage risks, and achieve successful crop production.

Disease
risk management

To manage disease risk on medium and large productions, you rely on external inputs like crop protection (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides) to secure your yield.

The costs of these inputs can pose economic challenges. Sakata understands the risks related to pests and diseases and knows the importance of sustainability.

Therefore, Sakata offers varieties bred for disease resistance, reducing the need for inputs, farming costs, and preserving soil health for long-term productivity.

Some of Sakata’s varieties with disease resistance include:

Pluto F1, a butternut with intermediate tolerance to powdery mildew requiring less inputs
Grand Calero F1, a high-yielding Piel del Sapo melon with good powdery mildew tolerance in the field

Efficiency and labour reduction

Increasing efficiency is key to managing medium and large-scale farming production. To improve productivity, you rely on mechanisation (planter, tractor, harvester). Therefore, you need varieties that can endure the different handling steps and adapt to mechanised cropping.

Sakata develops varieties accordingly to help you preserve the quality of your produce while simultaneously reducing labour demands to improve your production costs.

Here are some of Sakata’s varieties that can help you increase efficiency:

Leonidas F1, a broccoli with a long stem and a high head position that makes the harvesting stage more manageable
Figaro F1, a very erected spinach variety for easy harvesting
Yosemite F1, a good yielding onion with strong skins adapted for machine harvest

Quality and shelf-life
for marketability

Meeting the demands of national and international markets requires not only high yields but also superior post-harvest quality and shelf life.

Sakata’s vegetable varieties are selected for their ability to maintain freshness and quality during transport and storage, ensuring your produce reaches consumers in optimal condition, maximizing revenue and customer satisfaction.

End consumer
demand

Staying competitive in dynamic markets means catering to changing consumer preferences.

Sakata invests in research and development to offer unique and innovative vegetable varieties, allowing you to differentiate your products and stay ahead of market trends, whether in local or export markets.
