The Rivne region-based greenhouse enterprise Agrokonsern is a supporter of Ukraine’s national “Made in Ukraine” program, which promotes the country’s economy and creates jobs within the community. Despite skepticism towards greenhouse technology, Agrokonsern achieves high yields by creating optimal growth conditions and using innovative technologies.
The Zoryanske greenhouses cultivate 25,000 tomato plants annually, yielding 40 kg per square meter. These plants are grown in coconut substrate containers, and pollination is performed by specially bred bumblebees. Additional heating and lighting are provided during winter for year-round production, even with rising energy costs posing challenges.
Despite these challenges, Agrokonsern maintains its reputation through the superior taste of its produce, ensuring high demand and a loyal customer base. The enterprise produces approximately 2,500 tons of vegetables annually, with tomatoes retaining their exceptional flavor over time.
