A state-of-the-art complex for vegetable storage and processing is set to be constructed in the city of Solnechnogorsk, Moscow Region, with total investments reaching 500 million rubles (approximately $5.5 million). The project, announced by the regional Ministry of Agriculture and Food, aims to address critical challenges in the agricultural sector, including minimizing post-harvest losses and ensuring stable vegetable supplies during the off-season. The facility is expected to be completed and commissioned by the end of 2029, marking a significant step forward for the region’s food security and agricultural infrastructure.
The new complex will specialize in the storage of cabbage and potatoes, as well as their washing and packaging—essential processes for delivering high-quality produce to consumers. According to Vitaly Mosin, Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region, the advanced storage and primary processing technologies will help preserve the nutritional value of vegetables from field to retail shelf. He emphasized that projects of this scale elevate the region’s agricultural sector to a new level, enhancing the competitiveness of locally grown produce and strengthening the overall food supply chain.
