Russia’s greenhouse vegetable production is experiencing dynamic growth, with a 2.4% increase in the production of fruit and vegetable crops and greens in protected ground since the beginning of 2023. The highest growth rate is observed in tomato production (+9.7%). The leading regions in greenhouse vegetable production are the Republic of Tatarstan, Stavropol Krai, Krasnodar Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, Tambov Oblast, Kaluga Oblast, Volgograd Oblast, Moscow Oblast, Lipetsk Oblast, and Voronezh Oblast. In 2022, Russian greenhouses harvested 1.64 million tons of vegetables, and positive growth is expected to continue in 2023.
The increase in greenhouse vegetable production in Russia is a positive trend for farmers, agronomists, agricultural engineers, farm owners, and scientists who work in agriculture. The use of protected ground allows for year-round production, which can increase yields and provide a stable income for farmers. The growth in tomato production is particularly noteworthy, as tomatoes are a high-value crop that can be sold at a premium price.
