“In old greenhouses on an area of ​​​​2,000 square meters, we now grow seedlings of cabbage for our own purposes: we have 11 varieties in total - from early ripening to late ripening, so that the possibility of sales is year-round,” said Egor Mamaev, agronomist at Zorkaltsevskoye LLC. “We also grow seedlings of peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower for the population.”
The plans of the enterprise for this year are to transfer several adjacent territories to agricultural land and install a circular irrigation machine on vegetable fields, which will cover an area of ​​50 hectares.
