Farmer Louis Mulder of Pandamenga, Botswana, was allotted 250 000 onion Yakuti seeds as a trial and planted them on 15 June 2021. He reports that Yakuti did exceptionally well.
Louis was very impressed with the yield, quality, and resilience of this variety. He said he was “overwhelmed and very satisfied” with the performance of this variety, adding that in his 20 years of doing business with Starke Ayres, this was the “best experience ever”. Going forward, Louis plans to sow this variety over half a hectare, and he is only limited by the local market.
Yakuti has proven that it is one of the best; it has good size, and shape and is very uniform. Starke Ayres is confident that it will soon make a tremendous impact on our local onion market in Botswana.
