Gautier Semences new supply and position in Turkey

Gautier Semences is consolidating its presence in Spain and launching new tomato and melon varieties. The French seed company has detected great progress in Sucrine lettuce consumption in the Spanish market. As for tomatoes, Gautier highlights the first Marmande hybrid trio: Rafati, a red Marmande with great flavor, Marnero, a black Marmande combining sweetness and character, and Margold, a yellow pineapple type Marmande, with an original color and taste. This year, the seed company is also launching new Charentais melons in France, Spain and Morocco, such as Allegria, a green Charentais with a long shelf life, ideal for exports; Delfrisco, a yellow Charentais resistant to aphids that is well-adapted to early protected cultivations; and Jenga, a yellow Charentais for the main season’s cultivation. 
Continuing to focus on business growth and R&D investment, Gautier Semences recently inaugurated a new research centre in Eyrargues (France) and took on Argun Sahin as the new country manager for Turkey, in order to expand business in the Mediterranean markets.
