LAST EVENTS: SAIS TOMATO FIELD DAY IN VITTORIA – SICILY – ITALY

On January 8th, 2026, a Sais Tomato Field Day was successfully held in Vittoria.

The event was attended by distributors from the Mediterranean area interested in winter-cycle tomato crops.

Dr. Franca Castagnoli, Head of the SAIS Research Center, and Dr. Giovanni Migliorisi, Sicily Area Manager, presented new pre-commercial and commercial varieties of cherry, grape, cluster and marmande tomatoes.

The following varieties particularly stood out:

• cherry 121SA813 F1 for its high productivity, intense color, firmness, long shelf life, and plant health.

•  Datterino Confit F1 for its yield, uniformity, and flavor;

• New pre-commercial varieties of orange grape tomatoes with high flavor.

• new pre-commercial varieties of cluster tomato with ToBRFV resistance;

We would like to thank all the participants who contributed to the success of the event .
