Consistency and reliability in every branch

Panoramix stands out for the uniformity of its bunches, which maintain balanced development from the beginning of the cycle to the final stages. This characteristic ensures that each harvest produces fruit that is uniform in size (100–110 g), deep red in color, and firm, factors that generate confidence in cooperatives, commercial chains, and end consumers.

In this first commercial year, Panoramix has taken a key step forward by being included in the production programs of the main fruit and vegetable cooperatives. This recognition is a very important endorsement, as it guarantees that the variety meets the technical and quality requirements necessary for export markets.

Variety geared toward export

With intermediate resistance to the rough virus (ToBRFV) and a long post-harvest life, Panoramix meets the demands of the international market, where fruit preservation and presentation are key factors. Its medium-high vigor and open growth habit facilitate cultivation and offer stable production throughout the cycle.

“Panoramix represents CapGen Seeds’ commitment to offering its own solutions to the current challenges in the field. The fact that it is already part of cooperative and farmer programs is a very important step, and our goal now is to consolidate that trust season after season,” says Rafael Cremades, Managing Director of CapGen Seeds.

In addition to Panoramix, CapGen Seeds is working on new lines of research that will soon see the light of day: a Dutch-type cucumber in an advanced stage of development, with resistance adapted to current market demands, and new varieties of California pepper with resistance to Lt and nematodes, which are scheduled to be presented this season.

With these innovations, CapGen Seeds reaffirms its commitment to in-house research and genetic improvement, offering varieties that provide added value to both farmers and the market.

Three strategic vacancies for the future of CapGen Seeds

In line with our commitment to innovation and proximity to farmers, CapGen Seeds has opened the following selection processes:

• Farm Manager in Almería: This person will be responsible for coordinating the agronomic and operational management of our research centre in Vícar (Almería). This position plays a key role in the management of greenhouses and field trials, ensuring that research translates into solid, applicable results for farmers.
• Sales technician in eastern Almería and Murcia: This vacancy strengthens our presence in one of Spain’s most dynamic agricultural areas, which is key to the production of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers for export. The technician will be the link between research and farmers, offering close advice and transferring the value of our seeds to the field.
• Pepper breeder in Agadir: CapGen Seeds has a research centre in Agadir specialising in peppers, one of our strategic crops. This addition will allow us to continue advancing in the development of resistant, productive varieties adapted to the demands of international markets.

The importance of human talent in genetic improvement

At CapGen Seeds, we understand that the development of new varieties does not depend solely on technology, but also on the knowledge and passion of those who work every day in the field, laboratories and research centres.
That is why we invest in the continuous training of our team and are committed to a collaborative, multidisciplinary working environment that is open to innovation. Our plant pathologists, biologists, agronomists and sales technicians work together to provide real solutions to farmers.
The growth of CapGen Seeds in recent years —with a presence in more than 40 countries and our own research centres in Spain and Morocco— would not be possible without the commitment of every person who forms part of the company.

Commitment to internationalisation

The strengthening of our team is also linked to CapGen Seeds’ internationalisation strategy. In recent months, we have consolidated our presence in Italy, Asia and North Africa, markets where our tomato, pepper, cucumber and papaya varieties have attracted considerable interest.
The aim is to continue expanding our horizons, adapting our solutions to different climates and production models. To do this, it is essential to have specialists in research and development.

New challenges for more sustainable agriculture

The vacancies at CapGen Seeds respond to an increasingly demanding agricultural context, marked by the need for resistance to viruses such as ToBRFV and New Delhi, the search for varieties that are better adapted to climate change, and consumer demand for flavour, quality and food safety.
The Farm Manager, Sales Technician and Pepper Breeder will play a decisive role in these objectives, helping our seeds to remain a trusted tool for farmers, cooperatives and marketers around the world.

An invitation to grow together

For CapGen Seeds, September is synonymous with renewal and new beginnings. With these strategic vacancies, we are reinforcing our commitment to innovation and to the people who make the future of agriculture possible.
If you are interested in joining our team, we encourage you to stay tuned to our official communications, where we will be sharing information about these and future opportunities.
At CapGen Seeds, we continue to grow, innovate and sow the seeds of the future, because we are convinced that human talent, like our seeds, is the main capital for cultivating a better world.

Although it has been in cultivation for several seasons, in the last year Amira has aroused growing interest among farmers and technicians, who highlight its regular production, leaf resistance and uniformity in size. These qualities make it a strategic papaya variety for the autumn and winter cycles in the Canary Islands.

Agronomic advantages of Amira papaya

One of the aspects most valued by farmers is its medium size, which facilitates staking, handling and harvesting. Added to this is its moderate resistance to powdery mildew, one of the most common diseases during the cold and humid months.

Thanks to these characteristics, Amira guarantees continuous, high-quality production in winter, even in low light conditions, offering security and stability to Canarian producers.

Other highlights of the variety are:

*Regular fruit set and uniformity of fruit.

*Balanced vegetative development, without excessive vigour.

*High adaptability to different management conditions.

The Amira papaya produces oval-elongated fruit with excellent uniformity in shape, colour and size. Its average weight is between 1,100 and 1,300 grams, a size that is highly valued both in the regional Canarian market and in the national market, where there is growing demand for medium-large papayas for fresh consumption.

Local research and development in the Canary Islands

CapGen Seeds has an experimental station in Gran Canaria dedicated to the development and adaptation of tropical genetic material such as Amira to the specific conditions of the archipelago. This investment in local research ensures farmers reliable, profitable varieties that are adapted to the Canary Islands climate.

Although Amira is not new to the market, its consolidation demonstrates its technical and commercial reliability. Its combination of resistance, manageability and commercial quality make it a strategic option for diversifying the papaya supply in winter.

In addition to its work in the Canary Islands, CapGen Seeds is expanding its trials in Mediterranean areas such as Sicily and Almería, where the Caballero variety is emerging as the best option for these environments.

With Amira in the Canary Islands and new lines in the Mediterranean, the company is reinforcing its commitment to innovation in tropical genetics, providing specific and differentiated solutions for each market, and consolidating its position as an international benchmark in the development of high-yield papaya varieties.

Watermelon varieties adapted to the current market

During the current spring-summer season, CapGen Seeds has made significant progress with watermelons, particularly with the Tentación variety, a seedless watermelon that stands out for its crisp flesh, intense red colour and high sugar content. Its uniform size and good post-harvest properties make it a highly valued variety for both producers and exporters.

Alongside Tentación, the company is moving forward with CGW1095, a seedless cocktail watermelon in the pre-commercial phase. With an average size (3.5–4.5 kg), it has a crimson-type striped rind, deep red flesh and high Brix content, which enhances its flavour and commercial appeal. It is currently being evaluated in the field at several cooperatives in south-eastern Spain.

Both varieties are the result of work carried out at the CapGen Seeds research centre in the Canary Islands, a strategic location that allows for the selection of resistant and stable materials, ideal for demanding climates.

Development of new lines of piel de sapo melon and yellow melon

In melons, CapGen Seeds focuses its innovation on the piel de sapo and yellow melon varieties, two types that are in high demand in Spain and other Mediterranean countries.

Recently, the R&D team conducted field trials in Rabat (Morocco) to evaluate new lines in semi-arid climate conditions. These actions allow us to refine genetic selection and ensure that future varieties meet the real needs of producers.

As a result of these evaluations, we have begun developing the piel de sapo melon CGM1106, a variety with excellent uniformity, good post-harvest performance and balanced flavour, which will continue to advance in the company’s development pipeline.

R&D at the service of farmers

CapGen Seeds’ strategy is based on in-house development, proximity to farmers and an international vision. With a qualified technical team and its own research centres, the company works to offer high added-value genetics, adapted to current agronomic, commercial and climatic requirements.

CapGen Seeds thus reaffirms its commitment to improving summer crops, providing innovative and sustainable solutions for a constantly evolving market.
