Kazakhstan: Palm trees and citrus fruit are grown in greenhouses
Besides, even the plantations of lemons can be found in this greenhouse. They bear fruit only in these specific conditions. Unlike palm trees, which have adapted to the local climate and now can grow in the gardens.
The complex occupies 5 hectares. And it is well-supported by the government – each of the two annual harvests is subsidized for 20 500 Euro per hectare from the national budget.
The financial support helps us to develop and expand the complex. We have recently planted an orchard with apples, pears, and quinces. In future we plan to set out a small vineyard and to build 13 more greenhouses, - Natalya Sedykh, the director of the complex has said.
