amount of tomato production in Okhotsk, however Kitami city

The tomatoes grown in Kitami |
|
(Momotaro)
|
This variety was presented in 1985. Until then,
it had been common to make tomatoes re-ripen after ripening;
subsequently, they succeeded in harvesting and distributing
fully ripened tomatoes. Today, there are more than twenty kinds
of Momotaro varieties, and they occupy over 70% of the tomatoes
in Japan. Of course, the main brand in Okhotsk is Momotaro.
In Kitami, the Kamitokoro area has been growing tomatoes for
over thirty?five years. Since Kitami is a basin, the area gets
a lot of sunshine and has an extreme temperature difference.
Therefore, sweet and thick tomatoes can be grown. A tomato cultivation
group established the cultivation criteria. They have also received
the Hokkaido(YES! clean) designation. |

homegrown tomatoes. This farm has created their own growing
methods in order to produce sweeter tomatoes. The sweetness
of these tomatoes is about 80% (a typical tomato has a
sweetness of about 60 to 70 percent). They harvest the
tomatoes when they ripen, just before they fall from trees.
