Upon reaching the design capacity by 2026, the Shans farm will grow 148.5 tons of vegetables on closed ground.
“We turned to the commission under the regional government, submitted an application and our business plan. We won a grant for the construction of a greenhouse. We hope that by the end of September it will be built. We will grow seedlings and transplant them to new sites,” said Nina Pakhomova, head of the farm.
