Olymp

Crop Stability and Storage Potential

For growers focused on intensive production, the 'Olymp' cabbage variety addresses three critical needs: fresh market supply, processing requirements, and long-term storage. Developed by the Federal Research Center for Rice, this variety provides a predictable, low-maintenance outcome, minimizing the variables in field management.

Agronomy and Growth Cycle

This is a mid-late variety with a growing period of 110–120 days from seedling transplanting. For operators, this allows for precise harvest scheduling. The flat-round head shape is optimized for both mechanical harvesting and efficient crate packing, reducing logistics costs. In the field, the crop shows excellent uniformity, which simplifies labor during the cutting and primary sorting stages.

Storage Economics

The standout feature of 'Olymp' is its shelf-life endurance. With a storage potential of 10–12 months, it allows facility managers to hold inventory until peak spring market prices, all while maintaining high marketability and minimal weight loss. The dense leaf structure ensures durability during transport and handling operations.

• Usage: Universal (fresh market, processing, long-term storage).
• Maturation: 110–120 days.
• Head Shape: Flat-round.
• Storage Life: Up to 12 months.

Investing in this variety is highly efficient for farms aiming for year-round supply chains. The low spoilage rate directly impacts profitability by reducing labor costs associated with sorting and waste disposal.
