A seed that brings smiles to the entire world. Sakata’s mission is to deliver smiles and health to the world across various countries through the power of seeds. For over 110 years, we have been committed to enriching the world by offering innovative flower and vegetable varieties and services that address challenges in agricultural and horticultural fields.

Today, the environment surrounding us is dramatically changing. Torrential rains, extreme heat, and droughts caused by climate change, as well as global economic instability and rising geopolitical risks—the challenges are countless. Yet, even in these turbulent times, the importance of seeds, which are the foundation of agriculture and horticulture, remains unchanged.

Guided by our founding company motto of “Quality, Reliability, and Service,” and making the most of our accumulated experience and long history, we continue to foster a tireless spirit of innovation, refine our technological capabilities, and passionately create unprecedented seed varieties.

Vegetables nourish the body, and flowers nourish the soul. To deliver smiles and health to people around the world, we strive to ensure a stable supply of flower and vegetable seeds, while also promoting and realizing a sustainable environment and society through our corporate activities.

Sakata will remain committed over our next century to pioneering a new future for agriculture and horticulture.
