Plant the Seeds.
Grow Our Future.
How much potential lies within a single, tiny seed?
We've spent more than a century discovering the answer.
Seeds are the very beginning of all beginnings.
They sprout, take root, and bring flowers and vegetables into our lives.
They enrich the way we live and, at times, even shape cultures and values.
Seeds have connected life from the past to the present — and the seeds you plant today will keep growing into the future.
For more than 110 years, Sakata Seed Corporation has connected people and plants around the world.
At GREEN×EXPO 2027, we hope visitors will experience not only the beauty and wonder of plants, but also the fascination and potential of seeds themselves.
Everyone carries a "seed of beginnings" within them.
Let us plant these seeds together, nurture them, and grow a better future.
At GREEN×EXPO 2027, Sakata Seed Corporation will present a garden exhibition
in the International Exhibition zone and host an exhibition
in a special exhibition hall in the Farm & Food Village.
In addition, limited‑time indoor exhibitions are planned for nine days
each in May and July 2027 in the Indoor Exhibition zone.
Sakata Seed Green Service Co., Ltd. will present
a garden exhibition in the Urban GX Village.
