Valencia

A Reliable Choice for Industrial Processing

When selecting an onion variety for large-scale processing, producers often struggle to find the perfect balance between high yield and technical raw material quality. The "Valenciana" variety from the Turkish company May Seed Group provides a specialized solution for those focused on dehydration, freezing, or industrial canning.

Key Specifications and Benefits

• Cultural Type: As a long-day onion, Valenciana is optimized for northern and central latitudes, effectively utilizing the photoperiod to form robust bulbs before the arrival of extreme summer heat.
• Quality and Processing: The bulb features a flat-round shape and firm, clean white flesh, making it ideal for mechanical peeling and slicing. Its bronze-yellow outer skin meets the standard market appearance for industrial-grade onions.
• Maturity Cycle: With a growing season of 120–130 days, Valenciana offers a predictable timeline, allowing agronomists to optimize harvesting schedules and manage logistical loads effectively.

Why Choose Valenciana?

Valenciana is not intended for the amateur garden; it is a tool designed for commercial agricultural holdings working under contract with food processing companies. Producers should note that its storage life is 3–4 months. Consequently, this variety is best suited for scenarios where produce is sold or processed immediately after harvest, rather than held for long-term winter storage.

By leveraging May Seed Group’s genetics, professional growers benefit from a variety engineered for industrial performance. If your operations prioritize consistency, quality, and output volume, Valenciana serves as a solid foundation for a successful production cycle.
