At Sakata Seed India, we stand at the intersection of innovation, quality, and purpose — committed to empowering every link in the agricultural value chain, from seed to smile. Backed by Sakata’s century-long global expertise and guided by deep local understanding, we continue to bring world-class genetics, dependable performance, and sustainable solutions to Indian farms.
Our integrated Sales, Marketing & Product Development (SMPD) approach enables us to act swiftly and strategically — connecting research to reality, insights to impact, and innovation to implementation. This synergy allows us to deliver fast, field-proven, and scalable solutions tailored to India’s diverse agro-climatic zones.
Through our high-performing vegetable and flower portfolio, Sakata has set new benchmarks in yield, adaptability, disease resistance, and market quality. Each variety we develop reflects our unwavering dedication to farmer success — enabling higher productivity, profitability, and prosperity. Our continuous investments in R&D, backed by robust market insights, help us shape a more resilient and progressive agricultural future.
We also take pride in being pioneers in floriculture, introducing ornamental Sunflowers and Lisianthus to India — a testament to Sakata’s commitment to quality, beauty, and sustainability. These innovations not only enrich landscapes but also strengthen livelihoods, bringing joy and artistic inspiration to growers and consumers alike.
As we look ahead, our vision expands beyond productivity. We aim to bring broccoli to every Indian family’s dish — inspiring healthier choices and supporting India’s journey toward becoming a self-reliant and health-conscious nation. This is not just a crop mission, but a cultural movement toward wellness, awareness, and sustainable nutrition.
At Sakata, we believe that progress grows from people. Our success is built by our dedicated teams, trusted dealers, loyal distributors, passionate farmers, and supportive communities. Together, we cultivate excellence, trust, and happiness.
