Greenhouse farming in Volzhsky is undergoing a remarkable transformation as the “Ovoschevod” investment project progresses. The recent replacement of lighting fixtures across 4.6 hectares marks the initial phase of an ambitious plan. By 2026, the entire 56.4-hectare area is slated for an illumination overhaul, with 6.4 hectares targeted for 2024 and the remaining 45.4 hectares in 2025-2026. The primary goal is to enhance the yield of cultivated crops by an average of 28%.
The impact of this initiative is substantial, with a projected gross harvest of 57.2 thousand tons in 2027—significantly surpassing the 2022 yield of 44.7 thousand tons. This boost in productivity is a testament to the efficacy of modernizing technological lighting systems in agricultural settings.
It’s worth noting that the company’s expansion has been notable since 2018, with the cultivated area growing almost twofold, from 37 hectares to 61 hectares. Concurrently, the production volume has surged from 24.5 thousand tons to an impressive 44.6 thousand tons. The company employs state-of-the-art automated climate control systems and computerized monitoring of plant growth dynamics. Notably, the use of bumblebees for tomato pollination and the exclusive reliance on insect-entomophages for pest control underline the commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
The Volzhsky greenhouse complex’s investment in lighting technology showcases a commitment to innovation and sustainability. The projected increase in crop yield and adoption of eco-friendly practices exemplify the potential for transformative advancements in vegetable cultivation.
