Forward

Technological potential for industrial processing

The 'Forward' carrot variety, developed by the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Production, is specifically designed for intensive agricultural production. It is a strategic choice for farms operating under contracts with canning plants or those managing internal processing lines for juices, purées, and frozen vegetable mixes. The primary advantage of this variety lies in the technological consistency of the roots, which minimizes waste during industrial peeling and dicing processes.

Agronomic highlights

High marketability rates and uniform root sizing allow for the use of standard mechanical harvesters without the need for constant equipment recalibration. The variety shows predictable performance across diverse soil and climatic conditions, which is critical for meeting strict delivery schedules for processing plants. 'Forward' does not show a tendency for excessive branching, effectively reducing the percentage of processing loss.

Practical use cases

• Canning: the dense structure maintains its integrity during high-temperature heat treatment.
• Freezing: preserves excellent taste and color profiles after thawing.
• Juice production: high content of dry matter and natural sugars ensures a stable yield of the finished product.

By selecting 'Forward', producers gain a reliable tool tailored to the rigid specifications of the processing industry, where yield is only one factor, and physical-chemical parameters remain the priority.
