Entrepreneur Halmamet Amanmammedov harvested more than 64 tons of tomatoes in his greenhouse in Balkanabat city and exported 50 tons of it to the Russian Federation.
According to the Turkmenistan’s Golden Age news outlet’s Tuesday report, this is the businessman’s first greenhouse harvest and the first experience in selling products to foreign markets.
In October this year, the businessman put into operation a multifunctional modern greenhouse in the foothills of the Uly Balkan mountain range, in which any agricultural crop can be grown year-round. He has planted highly productive varieties of tomatoes on an area of more than four hectares, which allows him to obtain a rich harvest.
