Since the beginning of the year, 669.9 thousand tons of vegetables and green crops have been grown in winter greenhouses, which is 6.2% more than in the same period in 2021 (630.6 thousand tons). Including the harvest of greenhouse cucumbers is 413.2 thousand tons (+3.5%), tomatoes – 243.1 thousand tons (+11%).
Currently, the leading regions in the production of vegetables in winter greenhouses are the Lipetsk, Moscow, Volgograd, Kaluga, Belgorod, Novosibirsk regions, the republics of Tatarstan and Karachay-Cherkessia, the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions.
The development of greenhouse vegetable growing is one of the priorities of the Ministry of Agriculture. Preferential investment loans and “stimulating” subsidies are provided for industry enterprises. In addition, a new mechanism for compensating part of the costs for the construction of greenhouse enterprises in the regions of the Far East has been operating since this year. In the future, a set of measures will make it possible to provide Russians with fresh vegetable products of their own production all year round and not depend on import supplies in the off-season.
