The presence of Russian greenhouses, which was 8,500 decares 10 years ago, has reached a size of 47,560 decares today. The smallest of these greenhouses, most of which are soilless, is 50 decares and reaches up to 1,200 decares.

The Russian state is now stopping its support for greenhouse investments. However, despite this, large holdings, domestic and foreign investors still continue their investments without support.

Producers in Russia have now learned to produce in a greenhouse environment. Russia plans to produce its own basic needs in the very short term. In fact, apart from the production it needs, it has plans to export to Japan with a population of 120 million and Germany with a population of 85 million in the near future.
