"Ukraine: Largest greenhouse complex in country planned for 2012"
Board Chairman of Group DF Dmytro Firtash is to build the largest high-tech greenhouse complex in western Ukraine, worth some $100 million. The building project is to take place in Sinkov in Ternopil Oblast where the businessman was born, it was reported last week.
The complex should be operational by the Autumn of this year. It is intended that it will produce 4,000 tonnes of tomatoes and 1,550 tonnes of peppers per annum.
The expected yield of tomatoes is around 70 kilograms per square meter, and that for pepper, some 40 kilograms per square meter, with the average yield of the plants being 58 kilograms per square meter, exceeding the indicator in similar complexes by 30-65%, at farms by six times and in household gardens by 18 times.
Most Ukrainian greenhouse complexes currently specialise in the production of tomatoes and cucumbers, which represent around 90% of all production. peppers are currently only accountable for 1% of national glasshouse production and this project represents the first time peppers have been planted in industrial volumes in the country.
According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, in 2010 the country imported 8,400 tonnes of peppers, and in the ten months ending October 2011 the country imported 7,400 tonnes of peppers. The new project will reduce imports by 20% it is anticipated.
The complex will also have a greenhouse to produce seedlings with the capacity of 8.4 million seedlings per year, a storage facility and a food packaging facility.
As well as growing produce the facility will also provide resources for on site processing and canning.
Firtash said that when the complex is launched it will create in the region of 150-200 new employment opportunities.
Currently the site development stage of the project is creating work for 300 construction contracotrs.
The project has a strong international aspect to it - the greenhouse equipment is being provided by a Netherlands based company whilst planting technologies are from Israel.
