Over the past years, Russian greenhouse vegetable growing has experienced both growth and challenges. According to Tamara Reshetnikova, general director of the Growth Technologies company, the profitability of the greenhouse industry this year will probably not exceed 10%. Despite this, greenhouse vegetable growing continues to attract investors and remain a significant sector in the agricultural industry.
The investment attractiveness of greenhouse vegetable growing is supported by steadily rising product prices. Last year’s data show that greenhouse enterprises were able to earn more than 2 billion rubles. on vegetable sales, and this number continues to increase. Particularly high incomes are observed in the regions of the Far East and Siberia, where the estimated revenue per square meter is more than 7 thousand rubles.
However, despite good revenue, rising production costs and rising logistics prices pose serious challenges. Forecasts from the Growth Technologies company show that the increase in production costs this year will outpace the increase in selling prices, which will reduce the profitability of sales to a level of less than 10%.
It is interesting that the price dynamics for cucumbers and tomatoes remain at the same level as or exceed official inflation, which makes this segment continuously attractive for investors. However, the situation requires attention and constant monitoring.
Greenhouse vegetable growing in Russia remains an important and promising sector, despite the challenges associated with rising costs and changing prices. Investors, farmers and agronomists must carefully analyze the market and make smart decisions based on data and expert opinions. The right strategy and innovation can help address current challenges and ensure sustainable growth in this important agricultural sector.
