The Doka-Gene Technologies LLC agricultural enterprise of the Dmitrov City District of the Moscow Region produces more than 7 tons of seed potatoes per year - the task of import substitution has been completely solved both for its own production and to provide other domestic farms, the official website of the Administration of the Dmitrovsky City District of the Moscow Region reports.
As part of the working tour, the head of the district, Ilya Ponochevny, together with Deputy Head of Administration Olga Mosharova, Deputy of the Moscow Regional Duma Marina Shevchenko and Head of Territorial Administration No. 4 Mikhail Khokhlov, visited the enterprise and checked the readiness of agricultural machinery for the upcoming spring field work.
On the territory of TU No. 4 there is a park of the Doka-Gene Technologies agricultural enterprise, which has developed, patented and industrially uses innovative technologies for the production of virus-free mini-tubers of potatoes. The enterprise has completely solved the problem of import substitution, both for its own production and for supplying potato producers - the production of seed potatoes here is 7,2 thousand tons per year.
For better harvesting of tubers, a specialized digger runs across the field, which digs up potatoes and forms rolls from it. And the collection of seed potatoes is carried out by the latest trailed combine harvester. Then the tubers are stored in modern potato storage facilities equipped with a microclimate control system.
- Equipment is in service, fertilizers and seeds are harvested. There are no difficulties - for the future, Doka - Gene Technologies is searching for analogues of spare parts for large machines, and is also working on the transition to fertilizers from friendly countries. It is important that the enterprise does not purchase potato seeds - everything is its own, the task of import substitution has been 100% solved. This year, the enterprise will increase the planting of potatoes - I wish you a great harvest! - commented the head of the Dmitrovsky urban district Ilya Ponochevny.
The research and production complex created by Doka-Gene Technologies LLC has no analogues in the Russian Federation. In addition to the production of own and licensed varieties of potatoes, seed potatoes of high reproduction, the company grows vegetables and grain crops, providing food for Russian residents in various regions.
