In the Moscow region a large-scale program to create high-tech greenhouses is set to begin; by the end of the year six modern complexes are planned to have been built. The new investment projects will be presented at the II International Agrarian Forum OvoschKult, which will be held April 13-14 in Krasnogorsk near Moscow.
It is expected that this year the first stage of the greenhouse complex in Kashira District will be built and put into operation, with an area of 12.4 hectares and for a cost of 2.7 billion rubles. The Agrokultura Group are the investors. In addition, the company Oasis will build a 10 hectare complex in the Orekhovo-Zuevskaya district, at the cost of 2.1 billion rubles. The companies Edelweiss in the Ramenskoye district and Pitomnik Mikhailovskoye in the Shakhovskoi district will erect a 6 hectare greenhouse and each has invested about 1.5 billion rubles.
Also in Moscow, two investment projects, which began in 2015 in the Ramenskoye districts by the investor Belaya Dacha Teplichny Kombinat, will be finished and the cultivation of vegetable seedlings on 8 hectares will begin (investment - 750 million rubles). In the Noginsk district, the management company Victoria Estate will launch the first phase of a complex for growing greenhouse vegetables, Agrocomplex Ivanisovo, which will cover an area of 22 hectares (cost 5.2 billion rubles).
‘’By the end of 2016, due to the four new agricultural complexes in the Moscow area, around 800 new jobs will be created,’’ said Denis Butsaev, Minister of Investments and Innovations, for the Moscow region. ‘’The greenhouses will grow cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce with a total output of 28,000 tons per year, which will greatly increase the region's self-sufficiency in greenhouse vegetable production.’’
Finally, three greenhouse complexes with a total area of 43 hectares will be built in the region in the current year and put into operation in 2017. The project investors are the companies Turovsky Teplichny Komplex, Lukhovitsky Ovoshi and TK Moscow Region.
