You are a seed distributor All the support you need to assist your customers

You face strong competition and need to provide your customers with a complete range of varieties and technical support. Along with the product, Sakata can give you the agronomic recommendations to successfully position each variety.

Seeds adapted to
local growing conditions

In the seed business, attracting and retaining your customers starts with offering a broad portfolio of high-quality varieties perfectly adapted to their local growing conditions.

Sakata’s main focus is on:

implementing research programmes close to the main production areas: 7 in Europe, Middle East and Africa
trialling and positioning each new variety locally with farmers, in their specific soil and climate conditions
offering growers and plant nurseries the best options from among a large variety portfolio to meet their needs

Technical support

Selling seeds involves offering technical advice to your customers (product information, agronomic recommendations…).

Your local Sakata sales contact is a seed specialist who will help you in many ways:

by accompanying you when you visit your key customers
by participating in your marketing actions: field days, demonstrations, conferences, etc.
by providing you with technical documents (leaflets and pictures) and potentially helping you create your product catalogue

From reliability
to business visibility

In a constantly changing context – climate, pests, diseases, regulations, market trends, etc. – you need to secure your business development.

You need both reliability in terms of seed quality and seed availability, as well as visibility.

Sakata helps you plan your commercial development and build your forecast customer by customer, variety by variety, down to each item (volume and pack size).

In this way you guarantee business continuity: your orders are delivered on time when your customers need their seeds.

Regulatory compliance

Regulations constantly evolve impacting seed movement and commercialisation. Quality requirements, labelling, and phytosanitary standards are diverse and complex and require considerable expertise and responsiveness.

Sakata continuously monitors regulations in your country and issues the necessary documents so that you comply with local requirements.

Intellectual property protection safeguards your business

Registering and protecting intellectual property help to ensure the integrity of vegetable varieties.

When you purchase seeds that are properly registered and protected, you can have trust in their authenticity and quality.

This also prevents unauthorized use or distribution of proprietary seeds, which could harm your business.

Sakata safeguards seed distributors by ensuring the integrity of its seed varieties, preventing any infringement or unauthorized marketing of protected seeds.
