Japan · Listed company
Sakata Seed Corporation, established in 1913 and headquartered in Yokohama, develops varieties and organises material production for professional horticulture. Its activities cover seed, plants and horticultural supplies, alongside research and technical support for seed production. Vegetables and ornamentals, including flowers, are two distinct applications of the same breeding capabilities, and the global website reports product availability in more than 130 countries.
Horticultural customers buy variety traits and consistent planting material. Vegetable producers focus on the market for the harvested crop, while flower growers also weigh product type, plant habit and selling schedules. Transplant producers add delivery format, batch and timing to the picture, so that purchases fit the season's production programme. Catalogues and availability differ from one region to another, all under one common group identity.
