"Unique combination of Taste, Shelf life and Color"

Increasing amount of Turkish varieties in Spanish greenhouses

It is now 5 years since the Turkish seed breeding company Yuksel Seeds entered the Spanish market with the specialty brown ripening tomato Sacher. According to Hasan Kurt from Yuksel, after several years of adapting, the Yuksel varieties are now increasing in popularity in Spain. "It took some years to adapt our varieties to the unique Spanish climate conditions."

After a fast introduction of Sacher, the first brown ripening tomato of Yuksel Seeds, the breeder also introduced a highly TY tolerant version: Leyenda. "After this introduction, the Spanish growers and exporters also discovered the many other new, exclusive varieties. Our tomato variety Bysonte is now the most popular of them all."



Bysonte claims to be the first red tomato in the market with the unique combination of long shelf life and good taste and excellent colour. "More then 90% of the harvest of Bysonte fall in the category size G and GG", said Hasan Kurt.



According to Agricultural Engineer Bartolomé Martínez, Director of Motroy Seeds, the exclusive distribution Company for Yuksel Seeds in Spain, Bysonte produces the same high quality fruits during the whole season of the crop. No misshaped fruits, no size problems. The plant is very strong and healthy and adapts to both cold and hot conditions."



Other specialty products from Yuksel Seeds that are currently drawing interest from vegetable traders in Spain include some really exceptional products. One of them is an extremely cold tolerant plum tomato for export and a high quality heirloom beef type. Besides tomatoes, there are also other products like very productive Dutch cucumbers now ready and available for the Spanish market.

With 246 registered varieties worldwide and export to a total of 53 countries, Yuksel Seeds is a breeder with a large international presence. But still the company is dominating the Turkish home market of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers as well.
