We work in close cooperation with all stakeholders in our business field, treating their challenges as our own to devise solution strategies and introduce new products. Our primary aim in developing specialized breeding programs is achieving long shelf life, vibrant color, and superior taste.
Specific Attributes & High Profitability
For this industry, attractive appearance and great flavor alone are not enough. Among numerous specific demands, minimal waste during packaging, excellent presentation, and extended shelf life are of utmost importance. Growers' expectations for high yield and lower labor requirements are equally met. Meypal’s diverse range of vegetables allows processing companies and growers alike to maximize profitability.
Cooperation & Strong Partnerships
Selecting the right variety demands close collaboration. Beyond the intrinsic traits of the crop, fertilization and irrigation conditions play a vital role in delivering a successful end-consumer product. Additionally, washability, processability, and storage stability are indispensable requirements. This is where our knowledge sharing with partners takes center stage—the definitive way to achieve optimal results from every variety. To anticipate demands from global markets, we maintain ongoing ties and joint projects with international convenience food specialists.
Proven Success: Salanova® & Caribbean Melon
In the convenience food category, Salanova® exemplifies a standout lettuce variety that separates into countless individual leaves with a single cut. Another highlight is the Caribbean Cantaloupe melon, featuring enhanced shelf life. Its thin, smooth rind and compact seed cavity make it exceptionally attractive for the processing sector. With mechanical lettuce harvesting becoming standard, manual factory cutting is obsolete. Our sweet, crisp varieties are perfectly suited for automated processing.
