In August of this year, Sakata Seed de México celebrated its 30th anniversary.
"We are very proud of our trajectory", said Dave Armstrong, president and CEO of Sakata Seed America. "We are developing new crops such as hot peppers, lettuce, and melons, and we hope to become leaders in these new markets very soon. Mexico has great growth potential due to its competitive advantages, mainly its highly-skilled workforce and its weather, which allows it to produce all year round."
"We are very satisfied. We started in 1993 in Celaya, Guanajuato, with just three employees, and we now have more than 100 employees, including workers from our experiment stations in Culiacán, Sinaloa, and Yurécuaro, Michoacán," says Eng. Mauricio Pineda, director of Sakata Seed of Mexico. "We now have a network of 40 dealers in Mexico and two experimental stations with genetic improvement programs. We have a new generation of broccoli, chilis, and tomatoes that is very important to us, in addition to our line of cool-weather crops such as cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, cilantro, and radishes, and we are launching new tomatoes, melons, bell peppers, lettuce, and hot chilis," Pineda said.
