Unlike open ground sweet cherry, which has problems, sold locally at $ 1-1.5 / kg, the same products, but obtained in closed ground, are calibrated and can be transported over long distances, where they can be sold at 4 -8 dollars / kg.

This was announced during a speech at the conference by the economist of the FAO investment center Andrei Yarmak.

“Walking in a sheltered ground, the farmer protects the plant from adverse weather factors, from pests and diseases. Cherry from the open ground, which has problems, is sold at 1-1.5 dollars per kg.

Cherry from closed ground, large-caliber is perfectly exported to Hong Kong and other countries and has a price, excluding transportation and other costs from 4 to 8 dollars / kg, ”said Andrei Yarmak.

According to the speaker, investments in greenhouses pay off very well. After all, the main advantage of covered soil is guaranteed high quality products. And product quality is an opportunity for implementation.

“There is no shortage of fruits or berries in the world. There is an excess of fruits in the world. But the fruits are of poor quality. But good quality products are always in demand, they can be sold at a good price, ”the economist said.
