Russia's greenhouse vegetable exports have increased significantly, helping to diversify the agricultural economy Moscow, June 2025 - In recent years, Russia has made breakthrough progress in the field of greenhouse agriculture, especially in the export of cucumbers and tomatoes. With the steady increase in domestic greenhouse vegetable production, Russia has not only achieved self-sufficiency, but also actively explored the international market and became one of the important suppliers to the European vegetable market. According to the latest data from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Russia's total greenhouse vegetable production will reach 1.6 million tons in 2024, an increase of 200,000 tons over last year. This increase is mainly due to the country's strong investment and policy support in greenhouse construction. Especially in the Far East, the government has introduced a number of incentives to attract a large number of investors to participate in the construction of greenhouse complexes, effectively reducing dependence on imported vegetables and driving down local vegetable prices. Cucumber exports have become a highlight, and market share continues to expand Russia's cucumber exports are particularly eye-catching. Since 2013, Russia's cucumber production has increased from 392,000 tons to 830,000 tons, an increase of more than 100%. At the same time, domestic consumption has also increased from 616,000 tons to 935,000 tons. Imports have dropped significantly, from 224,000 tons in 2013 to 45,000 to 55,000 tons in 2021, with a market share of 95%. Russian cucumbers have quickly occupied the European market with their price advantage and high quality, and the main exporting countries include Belarus, Ukraine and Poland. The wholesale price of one euro per kilogram gives Russian cucumbers a clear advantage in the competition, which is much lower than the price of cucumbers produced locally in Europe. Tomato exports are gradually increasing, and the goal of self-sufficiency is in sight Although the import substitution process of tomatoes is relatively slow, Russia has also made significant progress in tomato production. In recent years, tomato imports have dropped from 800,000 tons at its peak to 400,000 tons, with an import substitution rate of 65%. The Russian Federation Ministry of Agriculture predicts that with the commissioning of more greenhouse projects, Russia will further increase its tomato self-sufficiency rate and reduce its dependence on external markets by the end of 2025. Policy support and international cooperation drive In the process of promoting the development of greenhouse agriculture, the Russian government has introduced a series of support policies, including providing financial subsidies, technical guidance and infrastructure construction. Especially in the Far East, the government is committed to creating an attractive investment environment to attract domestic and foreign companies to participate in the construc...

Greenhouse technology plays an increasingly important role in agricultural production. It can not only effectively resist natural disasters, but also regulate drought and flood, so that crop cultivation can be advanced or delayed, thereby extending the growth period and achieving the goals of early maturity, late maturity, increased production and stable production, which is deeply loved by farmers. However, due to differences in climate and application in various places, the specifications of greenhouses are also different. Next, we will take a deep look at the most popular types of greenhouses at present, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and help you choose the right greenhouse more wisely. Solar greenhouse is one of the important types of greenhouses, which is mainly divided into earth wall solar greenhouse and brick wall solar greenhouse. The new type of solar greenhouse that has recently appeared in Shouguang, Shandong, is an improvement on the traditional earth wall solar greenhouse. Earth wall solar greenhouse is suitable for off-season cultivation of high-value vegetables and other crops. Its span is usually between 10-15 meters. The wall structure adopts earth wall built by multiple rolling and masonry. The covering film mostly adopts 10-15-wire double-proof drip-free long-life film, and the frame of the shed adopts a full steel frame welded structure. In addition, the insulation material generally uses a greenhouse insulation blanket of 4-6 kilograms per square meter, and is equipped with a roller shutter machine to pull and release the insulation blanket. The advantages of this greenhouse are low cost, excellent insulation and heat storage effect in winter, and relatively low maintenance cost in later use. However, its wall occupies a large area, which may reduce the net planting area of the greenhouse; at the same time, there are certain requirements for soil quality. If appropriate protection measures are not taken, rain and snow weather may affect its service life. Brick wall solar greenhouse is suitable for a variety of cultivation needs such as vegetables, edible fungi, flowers, and fruit trees. Its span is usually between 8-16 meters, and the wall structure is built with red bricks or concrete foam bricks, with a thickness of generally 0.37-1 meter. Similar to the earth-wall solar greenhouse, its structure also includes components such as all-steel frame, covering film, insulation quilt and roller shutter. The advantage of this greenhouse is that the wall structure is stable and durable, and the soil quality requirements are low; the disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high. The advantage of the brick wall solar greenhouse is its sturdy and durable brick wall structure, with a service life of up to 20-25 years. This type of greenhouse also has a relatively high utilization rate of land and strong adaptability. It is particularly suitable for use in areas with complex geology, low water levels or where earth wal...

Advantages of Breeding Sheds As an important facility in modern agricultural production, breeding sheds play an important role in the breeding industry with their unique design and versatility. The following are several significant advantages of breeding sheds: First, breeding sheds can provide superior environmental control. Through plastic film or other covering materials, breeding sheds can effectively regulate the internal temperature, humidity and light, creating a comfortable growth environment for animals. Whether it is cold winter or hot summer, breeding sheds can maintain a relatively stable temperature, reduce the impact of external climate on breeding, and thus improve the production performance of livestock and poultry. For example, in winter, warm shed breeding uses solar energy and the heat emitted by livestock and poultry themselves to increase the temperature in the house, reduce heat energy loss, reduce maintenance requirements, increase meat (egg) rate, and save feed. Secondly, breeding sheds help prevent and control diseases. The relatively closed environment of the breeding shed reduces the invasion of external pathogens and reduces the risk of animal disease. At the same time, strict hygiene management and epidemic prevention measures are convenient for breeding sheds, such as regular disinfection, isolation of sick animals, etc., to effectively control the occurrence and spread of the epidemic. Under high-density breeding conditions, this closed environment is particularly important, which ensures the healthy growth of livestock and poultry and improves the survival rate and meat quality. Third, the breeding shed improves the efficiency of resource utilization. The construction and use of the breeding shed can save land resources, realize three-dimensional breeding and efficient land use. For example, the small shed breeding model achieves high output in a limited space, can breed multiple crops every year, and significantly improves the output and economic benefits per unit area. In addition, the breeding shed can effectively utilize water resources, reduce water waste, and maintain a suitable breeding environment by controlling humidity. Furthermore, the breeding shed has a strong ability to resist disasters. In the face of severe weather such as heavy rain, strong winds, droughts and other natural disasters, the breeding shed can provide a safe shelter for livestock and poultry and reduce losses caused by natural disasters. This stability makes the breeding shed a "safe" for agricultural production and provides farmers with reliable production guarantees. Finally, the breeding shed promotes the sustainable development of agriculture. Through scientific management and modern technical means, the breeding shed not only improves the breeding efficiency, but also reduces the negative impact on the environment. For example, the precise feeding and environmental control in the breeding shed reduces the waste of feed and drugs, ...

These houses will be placed in specific public housing projects to provide affordable living options for low-income families. The Singapore Housing Development Board said that this micro-house can not only effectively utilize land resources, but also meet the basic living needs of residents. With the successful application of 20-foot extended houses around the world, more and more countries have begun to pay attention to and explore the potential of this new housing solution. Industry insiders generally believe that this compact, flexible and sustainable residential design is expected to become one of the ...

Greenhouse: Guardian and Innovator of Modern Agriculture In today's era of rapid technological development, agriculture is also undergoing profound changes. Greenhouses, as an important symbol of modern agriculture, are bringing revolutionary changes to agricultural production with their unique roles and functions, and have become a strong support for farmers' income increase, agricultural development and ecological environment protection. A greenhouse is an agricultural facility that can transmit light and keep warm (or heat). By creating a stable and suitable growth environment, crops can thrive under various adverse climatic conditions. In the cold winter, the greenhouse is like a warm harbor, protecting warm-loving vegetables, flowers, trees and other plants from low temperature damage. In the hot summer, it can provide crops with a cool growth space through a cooling system to avoid the adverse effects of high temperature on crop growth. In the modern agricultural demonstration park, the greenhouse has shown its powerful role. The greenhouses here use advanced external shading systems, internal shading systems, staggered window systems, and fan water curtain cooling systems, which can accurately adjust environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. [Name], the head of the park, introduced: "Through the greenhouses, we can achieve uninterrupted production throughout the year, whether it is the cold winter or the hot summer, we can provide the market with fresh and high-quality agricultural products." In winter, the greenhouses here grow a variety of off-season vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries, which enrich the citizens' tables and bring considerable economic benefits to farmers. Greenhouses not only play an important role in improving yield and quality, but also provide a strong guarantee for the realization of green and pollution-free planting. In the greenhouses, by adopting water-saving irrigation methods such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, as well as pest control measures such as biological control, the use of pesticides and fertilizers has been greatly reduced, the ecological environment has been protected, and the safety of agricultural products has been improved. Consumers can buy and eat vegetables grown in greenhouses with confidence and enjoy a green and healthy life. In addition, greenhouses are also characterized by high efficiency and energy saving. Use covering materials with good light transmittance and structural materials with good thermal insulation to make full use of solar energy and reduce the need for artificial lighting and heating. The intelligent control system can automatically adjust the temperature, humidity, ventilation, cooling and other conditions of the greenhouse according to the environmental changes inside and outside the greenhouse, maintain the best growth environment in the greenhouse, reduce production costs and improve economic benefits. The applic...

International Development of Greenhouse Technology: Innovation and Sustainable Agricultural Future In recent years, greenhouse technology has made significant progress around the world and has become an important driving force for the development of modern agriculture. From high-tech glass greenhouses in the Netherlands to the technology output of Chinese farmers in overseas markets, greenhouses have not only performed well in improving agricultural production efficiency, but also played a key role in promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security. In the Netherlands, a country known as the "Glass Greenhouse Country", modern agricultural technology is redefining the limits of agricultural production. The greenhouse area in the Netherlands is as high as 110 million square meters, accounting for a quarter of the total area of glass greenhouses in the world. Through advanced environmental control systems and automation technology, greenhouses in the Netherlands are able to produce high-yield, high-quality agricultural products all year round. For example, the annual yield of greenhouse tomatoes in the Netherlands can reach 70 kilograms per square meter, which is more than 10 times that of traditional open-air cultivation. This highly efficient production model not only reduces water consumption and pesticide use, but also greatly improves the market competitiveness of agricultural products. At the same time, China's greenhouse technology is also emerging on the international stage. The "Luxi Grafting Workers" team from Shen County, Shandong Province, China, has become the darling of domestic and foreign seedling companies with their superb grafting technology. These grafters are not only active in various parts of the country, but also frequently go to Russia, Ukraine and other countries to export technology.
