“DOCA – Genetic Technologies” Launches Seed Potato Cultivation in the Yaroslavl and Vologda Regions
Starting this year, the company “DOCA – Genetic Technologies” has embarked on a new phase in potato seed production by cultivating original seed varieties in the unique soil and climate conditions of the Russian North. The new cultivation site is located at the border of the Yaroslavl and Vologda regions, areas known for their specific environmental conditions that offer potential advantages for high-quality seed production.
The choice of the Russian North is strategic, as its cold climate can naturally reduce the prevalence of many pests and diseases that often affect potato crops in more temperate regions. This allows for the production of healthier and more robust seed potatoes, essential for improving crop yields and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
“DOCA – Genetic Technologies” is focusing on using its proprietary potato varieties, developed through advanced genetic selection methods. These varieties are designed to meet the challenges of modern agriculture, including resilience to climate change, disease resistance, and increased productivity.
This expansion into the Russian North aligns with the company’s goal to supply high-quality seed potatoes to both the domestic market and international buyers. By leveraging the natural advantages of the region’s climate and the company’s expertise in genetics, “DOCA – Genetic Technologies” is positioning itself as a leader in innovative seed production, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the potato industry.
The cultivation of original seed potatoes in these conditions is a significant development for the Russian agricultural sector. It opens new possibilities for regional growth and demonstrates the potential for high-quality seed production in areas outside the traditional agricultural zones.
