Tinto: A Bold New Sweet Pepper for LATAM Growers

A fresh star has arrived in the Latin American sweet pepper market, namely: Tinto, named for its deep wine-red colour as it ripens.

Bred for strength and reliability, Tinto combines an eye-catching look with agronomic traits designed for modern growers:

  • Unique appearance: Dark green turning to a rich red-wine hue at maturity.
  • Exceptional resilience: High tolerance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) and Phytophthora capsici, keeping plants vigorous through the season.
  • Superior productivity: Flat-shouldered fruits, >18 cm long and >200 g, with more than 90% first-class quality and yields at least 15% higher than comparable varieties.
  • Strong post-harvest performance: Outstanding firmness, transport resistance, and shelf life.

Our team will be happy to discuss availability, share agronomic advise, and connect you with nearby growers already working with Tinto.
