TOURIST

Market-Oriented Performance with Bejo Genetics

Professional tomato production requires a delicate balance between yield reliability and logistics quality. The «Tourist» tomato from the Dutch breeder Bejo Zaden B.V. is engineered specifically for commercial growers who need consistent, high-quality output that withstands the rigors of modern supply chains.

As an indeterminate variety with a maturity period of up to 90 days, «Tourist» fits perfectly into both open-field and greenhouse production systems. Its growth habit allows for efficient use of vertical trellis systems, ensuring maximum output per square meter.

Key Agrotechnical Benefits for Commercial Operations

• Standardized Fruit Size: With an average weight of 80–100 grams, these fruits hit the “sweet spot” for retail demand. This size is ideal for standard tray packaging, minimizing damage during transit and ensuring a uniform appearance on the shelf.
• High-Yield Potential: With yields ranging from 70 to 100 tons per hectare, this variety is highly responsive to intensive cultivation, drip irrigation, and optimized fertilization programs.
• Superior Transportability: The flat-round shape and firm texture mean less waste during harvesting and shipping, directly protecting the grower's profit margins.

Integrating «Tourist» into your crop rotation reduces complexity in the packing house. The variety is known for its excellent uniformity, meaning fewer man-hours are spent on sorting and sizing. The deep red color and consistent performance make it a reliable choice for farmers looking for a high-turnover crop that maintains its quality from the field to the final consumer. Bejo’s rigorous breeding standards ensure that the plants have the resilience needed to perform even when faced with fluctuating environmental conditions.
