“ IN 1992 WE STARTED WITH KGS 20. WE NOW EXCEED 6000 KGS/YEAR OF AU PRODUCER SAIS”

“In Tunisia the reference variety of Watermelon is the Crimson Sweet Au Producer of Sais”, says Engineer M’Hamed Mezghani, owner together with his brother Hibrahim of Ets Mohamed Mezghani, distributor of the SAIS brands, MTS and PROFIT SEEDS for Tunisia and Libya.

Introduced in small quantities starting from 1992, the annual quantities of Au Producer SAIS seed sold in Tunisia have progressively increased, despite the advent of hybrids.

The differentiating features that Tunisian producers recognize in Sais’ Au Producer  watermelon are the high germination rate of the seeds, the capacity to set 2-3 large fruits per plant, naturally excluding from the fruit set the flowers of the final branches of the plant.

The fruits have a dark color with a nice contrast, a crispy pulp and are suited for transport and handling.

This variety is the driving force behind the entire range of high quality op seeds (beet, onion, pea, parsley, turnip, radish, etc.). We have subsequently successfully introduced the Adelante and Arriba F1 watermelons from SAIS, as well as the courgettes Annibal F1 (Paloma) and Asdrubal F1 (HSR 4777).

While continuing to have an excellent reputation in op varieties, SAIS is very active in varietal research and creation, which are fundamental to being able to differentiate itself and offer high-performance varieties in Tunisia. We are now introducing the Myrabile F1 indeterminate tomato  and the Ninfa F1 aubergine.

For over 30 years of collaboration, we are satisfied with the continuous varietal updating and the quality of the products and service provided by SAIS.”
