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

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.).
