Russia: Construction of 40 hectare agro-park in Kamchatka already at first stage
According to Ruslan Fesenko, agro-park "Nagorniy", being located far from centres of commerce and in a harsh climate, is a promising project, because it has a big consumer market. Production costs will account just up to 35% of the final cost of greenhouse products. Modern greenhouse vegetable production is a high-tech manufacture which allows to recoup all costs fast and the Kamchatka Territory is no exception.
Arkady Muravyov, the president of the Association "Greenhouses of Russia", promised to provide local farmers with greenhouse construction project documentation free of charge. In addition, the Association is ready to share its experience how to use domestic equipment required to operate and maintain greenhouses.
Reference: Association "Greenhouses of Russia" was established in 1994. The Association consists of 189 companies, including 109 greenhouse complexes with a total area over 1.5 thousand hectares of winter glass greenhouses. Annual production of greenhouse vegetables is more than 600 thousand tons in the off-season period.
