The first harvest of fresh vegetables next year is expected at the end of February, according to the Ministry of Agro-Industrial Complex and Trade of the region.
Irina Bazhanova, Minister of Agro-Industrial Complex and Trade of the Arkhangelsk Region, paid a working visit to the greenhouse facilities of the city of shipbuilders.
LLC “Severodvinsk agrokombinat” today is the only enterprise in the Arkhangelsk region that grows products indoors and provides northerners with fresh vegetables and herbs in the cold season: from February to March.
According to Irina Bazhanova, every agricultural enterprise that operates in the Arkhangelsk region is in the focus of attention of the relevant department, and especially those that receive state support.
These include the greenhouse facilities of the city of shipbuilders: it is annually allocated state support funds to compensate for part of the production costs.
At the site of the plant, they discussed the preparations for the next season.
According to the management of the enterprise, soil for growing plants and seed material has already been purchased. Production volumes for the next season will be maintained, and possibly increased, taking into account the expansion of the range. So, today the administration of Severodvinsk is working on the issue of growing flower seedlings on the basis of the greenhouse facility for planting greenery in the city.
To date, 80 people work at the Severodvinsk agricultural complex. In 2022, the enterprise produced 840 tons of products with a general plan for the current year of 1,000 tons.
