A wide range of melon types

Combined with the SuperFruiter trait this new market class has empty seeds and tiny seed cavity, thus it can be eaten like an apple.
The first varieties that will be available for commercialization 2024/5 will be of the following types:
Yellow Canary
Piel De Sapo
Cherry Melon
Vertical marketing – Tailored Supply Channels
SuperFruiter offers to its fresh produce chain partners, such as supermarket chains, fresh produce traders and fresh cut producers, to choose their own unique type of melon, according to their needs and wishes.
We proactively connect between large growers and chain partners, and tailor exclusive supply channels for each variety. Seeds are then sold directly to the growers or to selected nurseries that supply seedlings only to the dedicated growers.
This unique Vertical Marketing approach creates unique benefits as well as higher profitability to all our chain partners.
