The association noted that the expansion of tomato export markets will encourage entrepreneurs to create new greenhouses, and increased investment will contribute to both employment and growth of the national economy.
We remind you that tomatoes are heat-loving plants, so the success of outdoor cultivation will directly depend on climatic conditions – the warmer the weather in summer, the higher the yield and the less susceptible the plants will be to various diseases.
