Vegetable and potato producers of Ukraine are actively constructing new storages

According to the data of the analysts of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits", Ukraine is one of the largest producers of potato and vegetables in Europe. However, despite of this fact the country has been exporting too little produce; Ukraine even has to import fruits and vegetables when the national harvest is poor. The deficit of quality storages for potato, fruits and vegetables preservation in winter period is one of the main reasons for such situation.
Despite of the absence of state support and accurate state policy in the sphere of agricultural market infrastructure development, Ukrainian producers of potato, vegetables and fruits are actively investing to new modern vegetable storages. By the way, if the farmer constructs storage in the neighboring Poland, he can reimburse up to 70% of the invested funds by means of state budget.
Taking into account a high interest of producers and also wholesale trade enterprises to the construction of modern potato and vegetable storages, the program of the fourth international conference "Fruits and Vegetables of Ukraine 2007. Meeting New Leader" contains at once five presentations dedicated to the modern technologies of fruit & vegetable storage.
