By the off-season of 2025/2026, it is planned to almost double the output of domestic tomatoes — up to 71%.
In addition, they plan to expand the assortment of peppers, eggplants, berries, and greens. For producers, it is claimed that a number of financial and organizational issues have already been resolved.
At the "DarOrs" enterprise, a line for the production of greens has been launched on an area of 1.4 hectares, which will allow doubling the output of greens and lettuce. Deliveries of fresh greens to stores at an affordable price are promised to begin on February 20.
