You are a processing company Selecting vegetable varieties for efficient processing

You are always on the lookout for the best vegetable varieties to meet your requirements to guarantee quality, quantity, efficiency and traceability. Sakata provides you with a range of broccoli, squash, cauliflower – among others – that set standards in the sector.

Consistency in both
quantity and quality

You need a consistent product with reliable yield and stable quality to meet your specifications.

Sakata creates productive vegetable varieties presenting steady agronomic traits in terms of shape, colour, taste, nutritional content, etc.

Among Sakata’s varieties, here are some of the market references for processing:

Parthenon F1 and Naxos F1, two high-yield broccoli varieties with uniform product size and easy floretting.

Vegetable varieties
tailored for processing

You are looking for vegetables that can easily undergo each step of your processes: peeling, slicing, dicing, floretting, heating, freezing, etc.

Sakata offers varieties that have a uniform shape, firm flesh and attractive colours. Some of these varieties are:

Atlas F1 and Pluto F1, two varieties of butternut squash with a uniform cylindrical shape, a small seed cavity, firm flesh and a rich, attractive orange colour.
Berlin F1, a cauliflower with a big, compact head ideal for the frozen market.

Year-round
availability

Your production lines operate all year round.To support your continuous activity, Sakata develops vegetable variety ranges that cover a long production season (from early to late plantings).

Guaranteeing continuous activity all year round also means guaranteeing uninterrupted availability of seeds: that’s why Sakata produces seeds in both hemispheres.

Among Sakata’s varieties with year-round availability you can find:

Crunchy King F1, a red radish cultivated over the summer in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and during winter in Spain, Morocco and Senegal.

Transport
and storage

To minimise discard and reduce waste, you need vegetable varieties that keep their freshness.

Sakata’s varieties designed for food manufacturing meet these requirements during transportation, storage, and processing (cutting, canning, freezing, drying, packaging, etc.).

Traceability

Food traceability is an important element of your business. You need to be able to follow the movement of the produce you process through all stages of the production chain, both upstream and downstream.

Sakata respects quality control (genetic purity, germination rate, pests and disease) and can help you guarantee traceability back to the seed producer.

Ethics
and sustainability

You need suitable vegetables for processing, but you are also looking for suppliers who care about ethics and sustainability.

Sakata invests in breeding to develop sustainable varieties (drought tolerance, disease resistance, etc.) and guarantees ethical business practices (human rights policy, sustainable policy, etc.).
