In 2025, weather conditions favoured the outdoor production of vegetables, with total harvest increasing from the previous year's decline. A total of 219 million kilograms was harvested from outdoors, most of this vegetables. The greenhouse vegetable harvest totalled 96 million kilograms, and a total of 106 million pots of potted vegetables was produced.
In 2025, there were a total of 2,760 horticultural enterprises, of which 2,250 were engaged in outdoor production, and 710 in greenhouse production. The total production area was 18,000 hectares, of which 350 hectares were greenhouse area. The number of enterprises has slightly decreased in recent years, but production areas have remained relatively unchanged. The annual variation in crop harvests is particularly affected by outdoor cultivation, in which the production is very sensitive to weather conditions.
194 million kilograms of outdoor vegetables were harvested, almost nine million kilograms more than in 2024. Although the cultivation area of frozen peas increased by almost one hundred hectares, the yield level was lower than in the previous year, and the total harvest amounted to just under five million kilos.
The harvest was weakened by local rains and drought, as well as simultaneous maturing. As a result, pea harvesters were unable to harvest all the crops in time.
