When selecting a variety to be used on your farm, considering your end market is very important. Once you know who you are selling to, identifying the variety that will get you there is much easier!

𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔 is a large fresh market cabbage variety that is perfectly suited for both the bagging market and the loose head hawker market, growing a very uniform, large, excellent quality head. It has been a market standard for summer production for many years, and will be for many more to come.

Andre Pretorius from Khutso Naketsi Agriculture (or KNA) based in Skeerpoort knows that looking after your crop is very important, but gives all glory to God when asked about how he successfully grows such a wide variety of crops throughout the year. Well done on an excellent crop, KNA– may there be many more blessed seasons to come.
