As of Tuesday, September 18, vegetables have been harvested from 2 hectares of fields, according to the regional agriculture department.
Productivity in 2018 is much lower than previously expected. The main reason for this factor is the poor quality of watering vegetables, as a result of which, in places where there was poor quality of irrigation, potatoes did not spawn.
Part of the harvested vegetables was sent for processing, the remaining potatoes will be sent to store shelves. Recall that a program was launched in the Lipetsk region, according to which it is planned to increase the potato crop by 2020 times by 1,5.
Also, farmers want to increase the number of potato storages. Recall that at the moment in the Lipetsk region it is possible to store up to 200 thousand tons of potato tubers.
