Exclusive distribution contract between Esasem and Sakata

Seed companies Sakata Vegetables Europe Sas and Esasem Spa subscribed a new contract for the exclusive distribution of Sakata products on the Italian territory.

Sakata was founded in Japan in 1920 by Takeo Sakata and currently has 16 research centres all over the world for breeding and experimentation purposes. The Sakata Vegetables European branch is located in Uchaud, in southern France. Products are sold in EMEA countries thanks to subsidiaries and local distributors.

Sakata's slogan is "Passion in seed", words that express the company's philosophy of considering seeds their main interest.

Esasem is an Italian company established in 1988 producing and commercialising vegetable seeds through a wide range of agents.

Numerous Sakata vegetables have now become reference varieties, like for example Savoy King and Cape Horn cabbage, Marathon and Green Belt broccoli and even Naxos and Parthenon broccoli.

Esasem is also distributing other Sakata products which are very popular abroad but still relatively unknown in Italy, such as butternut squash and pak choi.
