In the Turkistan Region of Kazakhstan, 150,000 tons of vegetables were harvested from greenhouses within the first nine months of this year, fulfilling 42% of the country's demand during the off-season with locally produced goods, according to the press service of the regional governor's office.
Currently, as part of the industrial greenhouse development, three projects covering an area of 602 hectares are being implemented. This expansion is expected to create 6,150 new jobs and increase the volume of produce harvested from greenhouses by 180,000 tons. This increase will fully meet the country's demand for greenhouse produce during the off-season, the governor's office noted.
The total area of greenhouses in the Turkistan Region amounts to 1,640 hectares, which represents 71% of the national total.
