Belarusian tomatoes ripening in greenhouses

Vegetable farmers in Polotsk use intensive technologies for growing vegetables. Under the artificial sun of the greenhouses, cucumbers and lettuce crops have ripened, and in a week the tomato season will begin. This means that, according to forecasts of manufacturers, the domestic market is likely to see a decrease in prices for these products. The artificial tropics of the Vesna-Energo agricultural enterprise occupy four hectares. Bumblebees are used to pollinate the plants. At least 400 winged insects work per 1 hectare. But the lettuce section owes its attractive looks exclusively to the caring hands of vegetable farmers. Here, ready-to-sell basil, dill and arugula are grown in record time.
