New agricultural facilities equipped with advanced technologies were erected by representatives of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, which indicates a significant contribution of representatives of the business community to strengthening food abundance, successfully solving the problems of import substitution, and increasing the competitiveness of domestic food products. The greenhouses are designed to produce 8,750 tons of vegetable products per year. With their commissioning, about 400 new jobs are being created.
The complexes put into operation in all respects, including technological equipment, meet international standards. They have all the capabilities for the production of vegetable products, which will be sold in the domestic and foreign markets. The opening of these objects of the agro-industrial complex also determines the creation of new jobs, which has a great importance in terms of resolving the issue of employment of the population.
For the construction of agricultural complexes, modern materials were used that have high thermal insulation and operational properties and meet such an important criterion as environmental friendliness. Specialized equipment from leading European and other foreign manufacturers allows carrying out appropriate agricultural technical measures in automatic mode.
Technological processes, including maintaining a certain temperature and light regime, air humidity, soil enrichment with nutrients, irrigation through water-saving systems, etc., are controlled using computer programs. All of this provides a high yield per hectare and creates optimal conditions for year-round industrial production of excellent quality vitamin products. Warehouses equipped with refrigeration units are provided for its proper storage.
Today, a caravan with a cargo of products grown in new greenhouses, put into operation in five regions of the country, set off along the routes of supply of these products to domestic and foreign consumers.
