There are many farmers on Sakhalin who supply the island population with fresh and healthy products. One of these is Alexander Dukhanin, the head of the Rus peasant farm, who grows potatoes and other vegetables.
The farm has been operating since 2001, that is, for more than 20 years. On Sakhalin, Rus is one of the most developed small businesses in the agriculture of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Basically, they are engaged in the production of vegetables, and the farm has everything you need for this: a complete set of agricultural machinery and equipment, trucks. Also on the KFH site there is a capital potato storage facility that can accommodate up to 1.5 thousand tons. There is also a sorting point and a mechanized unloading and loading process.
Every year, the brainchild of Alexander Dukhanin achieves high yields of potatoes and vegetables among farms throughout Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Residents of the regional center can buy the products of the farm in the supermarket chain “Baloven”. The farmer believes that anti-Russian sanctions could cause problems, but not before a couple of years.
“Plant protection products are 90 percent dependent on imported components and spare parts for imported equipment too. I would like to hope that Russia will have its own plant protection products, otherwise we will have to cut production. Then people will have a reason to grow vegetables for themselves in their gardens,” Alexander Dukhanin told Sakh.online.
Despite the fears of the agricultural producer, there is already a solution on Sakhalin – this is the family business of Vitaly Vedyashkin and Marina Filippova, which continues to save the gardens of Sakhalin gardeners and gardeners from pests. The common dream to grow fruits on a remote island no worse than in the Krasnodar Territory led enthusiasts to a unique business – the production of useful fertilizers. Today, the couple has an online store “Fertilizers and Rastyushki”, where you can find goods for the garden. Their range includes pots, soils, mixtures, pest control products, useful minerals and substances.
The use of the developed technology will, with an accuracy of 80-90%, predict the spatial distribution of pests over the greenhouse area and calculate the required dosage of protective equipment.
