Dagestan can rightfully be called Russia's year-round vegetable garden. The republic's mild climate allows for tomato cultivation almost year-round.
The "Green Valley" investment project, covering over 5 hectares, is being implemented in the Kumtorkalinsky District. Sharip Sharipov, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Dagestan, and Akhmed Rasulov, Head of the Department of Plant Production, toured the complex.
"Dagestan ranks fourth in the country in terms of greenhouse tomato production. Pink tomatoes are the most widely cultivated variety in the republic; Dagestanis have mastered the secrets of growing this tomato, which is more difficult to cultivate but is also highly sought after. Greenhouses in Dagestan are located on private farms. The Karabudakhkent, Kayakent, Derbent, and Kumtorkalinsky Districts, as well as the suburbs of Makhachkala, hold the largest greenhouse acreage." "It's gratifying that modern agricultural technologies are being applied to greenhouse vegetable growing today," noted Sharip Sharipov.
Dagestani vegetable growers are confident that hard work is essential to growing a good harvest. And the use of the latest technologies increases yields. The greenhouse complex is equipped with modern engineering solutions: a fogging system, drip irrigation, and automatic microclimate control. These technologies help maintain an optimal microclimate.
