The Moscow Region is expanding its potato and vegetable storage capacity, equipped with modern climate control systems to ensure long-term harvest preservation . The addition of additional infrastructure stabilizes the selling price of produce throughout the year and enables farmers to increase production.
The Moscow Region Ministry of Agriculture and Food reports that the region plans to complete construction of three storage facilities with a total capacity of 22,500 tons of storage at one time this year. Specifically, SPK imeni Lenina LLC will commission the first phase of an 18,000-ton vegetable storage facility in Lukhovitsy, while Lukamore LLC will build a 2,500-ton vegetable storage facility in the Kolomna urban district. Last year, these investment projects won a competitive selection process that included a federal subsidy . AstraAgro-Lotoshino LLC also plans to complete construction of a 2,000-ton potato storage facility as part of its investment project this year.
Additionally, construction of 10 storage facilities with a total capacity of 22,400 tons was completed last year. For example, Agroholding Yakhroma LLC commissioned two facilities with a total capacity of 6,100 tons in the Dmitrovsky Municipal District, and Lesnye Dali LLC commissioned a 3,500-ton storage facility in Yegoryevsk.
