You want to stand out

Uniqueness is good for your farming business

Competition is intense. Yet, whether you are a smallholder farmer, a medium to large-scale farmer, a high-tech grower, or a seed distributor, you can overcome this challenge. How? By standing out from your competitors. Here are Sakata’s suggested strategies.

Offering
unique varieties

Providing a unique product can make a significant difference in a mass market. 

It helps you get customers’ attention and ultimately sell at a better price.

Sakata creates highly differentiated products, for which the company is unrivalled. Here are three examples:

  • Although pink tomatoes are popular in Russia and Uzbekistan, they are still a highly innovative product for other markets. Sakata offers a nice selection of pink tomato varieties.
  • Some are already available, such as Pink Paradise F1, which is the market leader.
  • Another variety is Oriental Kiss F1, which offers a good level of tolerance to TYLCV while retaining excellent taste.

Specialty tomatoes are now commonplace, but few stand out like Chocostar F1! 

This variety, which also shows resistance to ToBRFV, delivers superior quality in terms of taste, shelf-life and colour.

It is the best brown tomato on the market!

  • Orionit F1: the only butternut resistant to Didymella.
  • Aurora F1: a beet variety resistant to Rhizomania.
