Give a vote to your favorite vegetable! Sakata Seed Corporation is launching the Instagram campaign 'Your Favorite Vegetable General Election.' This initiative, following a similar SNS campaign held last April, aims to celebrate the charm of vegetables with a wide audience.
This time, the project is simplified to encourage more participation; users just need to comment on their favorite vegetables along with their reasons. By having people think about and share their favorite vegetables, the company hopes to make vegetables feel more familiar, leading to increased consumption and revitalization of the agricultural and gardening industries.
The application period is from 10:00 AM on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to 11:59 PM on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. This timing coincides with the best season for starting home gardens from late April through Golden Week.
To apply, follow both official Instagram accounts: 'Sakata Seed Corporation [Official]' (@sakataseedcorp) and 'Seedfun. Sakata Seed [Official]' (@seedfun_sakata), and comment your favorite vegetable. Winners selected by lottery will receive cooking tools that allow them to enjoy vegetables easily or professionally (Automated Cooking Pot or Chinese Bamboo Steamer).
Last April, the company conducted the 'Future Vegetable Development Meeting' SNS campaign. Similar to the previous one, the comments received in this campaign will be used as reference for R&D and product development. Through the 'Seedfun.' brand for beginners, the company continues to provide opportunities for younger generations and those with no gardening experience to discover the joy of growing plants.
