In the Kemerovo region, thanks to the introduction of new technologies in the agro-industrial complex, a significant increase in production is observed, Svetich news agency reports with reference to the press service of the regional government.
Over the past four years, the sown area in Kuzbass has been increased by almost 100,000 hectares, mainly due to the introduction of abandoned land into circulation. Plus, agricultural producers have begun to use new technologies and modern resource-saving equipment in their work, which allows them to steadily increase their yields. As a result, last year the Kuzbass grain growers harvested a high grain crop – 1,550.8 thousand tons.
“Today, more than 2,000 enterprises and peasant farms are engaged in agricultural production in Kuzbass. Their main task is to provide the region with high-quality products in a wide range. Over the past four years, thanks to state support, modernization of enterprises and the introduction of new technologies, there has been a significant increase in production. These positions need to be strengthened in all directions,” Governor Sergei Tsivilev noted.
Over the past four years, the villagers have also achieved an increase in potato yield from 177.3 to 186.9 c/ha. The production of greenhouse vegetables is developing – since 2018 it has more than doubled (from 8 to 18 thousand tons).
