The Governor of the Tula Region Alexey Dyumin paid a working visit to the farm "Bogoroditskiy Alliance", which specializes in growing potatoes. The farm also grows grain and oilseeds.
“This farm is one of the leaders from which one can take an example. The harvesting of potatoes in the country, excluding the southern regions, begins at the end of July. And here, thanks to modern technologies and equipment, the enterprise has almost completed the harvest of early potatoes. This means that our region is competitive to the southern regions, ”the head of the region emphasized.
The enterprise has been operating since 2008. General Director Nikolai Lavrentyev said that the total arable land now exceeds 8 thousand hectares. As part of the agreement signed two years ago at the Russian Investment Forum, potato storage facilities were built with a modern ventilation and humidification system with a total capacity of 15 thousand tons, as well as a complex for receiving, processing and storing grain with a capacity of 30 thousand tons. The project cost was 450 million rubles.
