Fiji

Reliable Yields in Diverse Environments

The «Fiji» pepper, developed by the Ukrainian company «Agrooptima», is a go-to choice for growers prioritizing both early maturation and commercial appeal. In the competitive segment of cone-shaped sweet peppers, this hybrid stands out for its flexibility, performing consistently well in both open-field conditions and greenhouse environments.

Key Specifications

• Vegetation period: 65-75 days, ensuring an early start to the harvest season.
• Fruit metrics: Weight ranges from 120-160 grams with a wall thickness of 5-6 mm.
• Color profile: Transitions from deep green at technical maturity to a vibrant, attractive red when fully ripe.

The core advantage of the «Fiji» variety is its conical shape, which is highly sought after by retailers due to its ease of packing and logistics. Unlike many heavy-walled blocky varieties, this hybrid is more resistant to cracking during fluctuating humidity levels, making it a dependable choice for commercial fresh market farmers.

Strengths and Applications

The standout feature is the rapid turnover; «Agrooptima» has engineered a product that reaches biological (red) maturity quickly, minimizing the time needed in the field. The 5-6 mm wall thickness is a sweet spot: it keeps the fruit succulent enough for fresh salads while maintaining the firmness required for shipping. While it thrives in most conditions, consistent irrigation is recommended during heat waves to reach the upper end of the weight spectrum.

«Fiji» is a strategic asset for professional vegetable growers aiming for the early market window, as well as for smaller operations where consistency and disease resistance are paramount to minimizing risks.
