This year, it is planned to harvest more than 102 thousand tons of potatoes and more than 52 thousand tons of vegetables in the Khabarovsk Territory - 25 and 5 thousand tons more than in 2021, reports press service of the governor and government of the Khabarovsk Territory.
The Ministry of Agriculture keeps the situation with precipitation under control. In the coming days, together with volunteers, we plan to help farms speed up potato harvesting. In addition, we annually compensate from 50% to 80% of the amount of the contribution to those wishing to insure their plantings. This will protect the farms in case of emergency, - said acting. Alain Seleznev, head of the department for the development of the agro-industrial complex and breeding work of the ministry.
Some farms have already started harvesting potatoes, and in the second half of September it will be the turn of vegetables from the “borscht group”, which also includes carrots, beets and cabbage.
In addition, the ministry noted, tomatoes, cucumbers and green crops are grown in greenhouses all year round. To date, almost 2 tons of vegetables have been produced indoors.
