This is what the regional governor, Andrei Bocharov, announced during an offsite meeting dedicated to implementation of investment projects in the agriculture sector.
“Today we have a unique opportunity to become one of the country’s leaders in the field of the protected ground production of vegetables. This is a breakthrough direction,” Mr. Bocharov said.
A new facility growing cucumbers on an all-the-year-around basis is scheduled to be put in operation this year by the company. Its area will be 5 hectares. At present, a total area of the enterprise’s greenhouses amount to over 25 hectares.
The governor set a new task to the enterprise – to create 10 more hectares of greenhouses in 2017 and increase the capacity to up to 100 hectares in the next years.
