It was decided to sell the grown seedlings of ten varieties of cabbage at the Prigorodniy state farm to summer residents and gardeners. The largest agricultural producers in the region announced their intention to focus on greenhouse crops and livestock.
In the Prigorodny agricultural complex, they refused to grow cabbage and potatoes in the open field, despite good harvests in previous years. The fields here intend to sow with annual and perennial grasses, which will go to feed livestock. The reason for this decision is the cost of grown products. Agrarians of Syktyvkar do not withstand competition in this direction with agricultural producers in other regions of Russia. This was announced on the air of the Komi Gor TV company by plant protection specialist Sergei Bulatov.
“It is not profitable for us to grow in the fields here in the Northwest, and we are refusing potatoes and cabbage in the open ground. It’s hard to compete, and the support is small, ”the agronomist emphasized.
According to him, the seeds of ten varieties of cabbage this spring planted five times less than usual. The grown seedlings will be sold to summer residents and gardeners. The released greenhouse areas will go under planting of other crops, on which local farmers will focus their work this spring. Bet will also be made on livestock.
Prigorodny LLC is the main producer of cabbage in the Komi Republic, who has been cultivating this crop for many years. Five years ago, a record for average productivity was reached in Syktyvkar - 772,5 centners per hectare. The weight of individual heads went up to ten kilograms.
