To reduce fluctuations in the supply and price of shallots, the release of shallot varieties is necessary because shallots are an important vegetable crop in Indonesia and as an effort to increase the productivity of shallots in Indonesia. The availability of high-yielding and disease-resistant shallot varieties will ensure long-term output. This research aims to test the productivity of the newly released variety, SS Sakato, in three different locations in Indonesia. This variety was developed by the Center for Tropical Horticultural Studies in a participatory plant breeding scheme with farmers from 2014 to 2017. The research was conducted in Solok, Kuningan, and Bogor from September 2020 to July 2021. The results showed that the SS Sakato variety grew well in all locations. According to the variety description, SS Sakato had the potential for tuber yields of 17.52-28 tons/ha, whereas productivity in the three research locations was 27.62-29.44 tons/ha (Bogor), 26.66-29.42 tons/ha (Solok), and 18.20-21.33 tons/ha (Kuningan). This indicates that the SS Sakato variety is adaptable and can be used as a national variety in Indonesia to increase shallot production and farmers' incomes.
