Improving your farm profitability

You want to secure your vegetable production and maximize your profitability. From unpredictable weather conditions to water availability and diseases, the challenges you face to improve your performance are plenty. Sakata understands these challenges and offers solutions to help you.

High yield does not only mean greater quantity but also best-quality produce.

Heat-tolerant varieties

With climate change, extreme heat is a threat to your crops and can affect your yield consequently.

Certain crops such as squash, pepper, and tomato are particularly vulnerable to heat stress during their flowering and fruiting stages. To assist you in ensuring optimal yield performance even in hot conditions, Sakata focuses on creating heat-tolerant vegetable varieties that use nutrients and water more efficiently.
