A cucumber for every market

Different markets prefer different cucumber types, from long and smooth to short and prickly. Choosing the right variety is key to a successful export.

Short and pickling cucumbers

Short and pickling types are firm and suited to fresh retail or processing. Their size and texture drive specific market demand.

Type matches use.
