Hector Rodriguez Castro, head of the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Water Resources (SEDARH) indicated that there are currently over a thousand acres of greenhouses, nearly 465 of which have been built in the past four years.
According to the official, currently there are nearly 200 projects distributed in the four regions of the state. The largest one, with about 100 acres, is a greenhouse located in the municipality of Cedral.
