In particular, growing berry crops is gaining more and more popularity among citizens and farms. - said the deputy DIRECTOR of the department of agro-industrial complex and consumer market Natalia Dugina. - Over the past three years, 5 grants from Agrostartup have been provided in this area in the amount of about 12 million rubles. As a result of the implementation of these projects, the volume of berry production in the region will be 100 tons per year.”
