Vegetable cultivation in greenhouses has doubled over the past decade.

In the heart of Russia's Krasnodar region, the district of Mozdok is blooming with a remarkable sight - a vast greenhouse complex that produces an astounding 35 million roses annually. This floral powerhouse is the work of the company "Rosflora."

This greenhouse complex is not just a local phenomenon; it caters to the entire country, supplying roses to various regions such as the South and North Caucasus, the Volga, and the Ural regions. The roses grown here are a symbol of the region's thriving horticulture industry.

The Krasnodar region, under the leadership of Governor Veniamin Kondratyev, has been making significant strides in agriculture. The region's open-field yields have seen a considerable increase, with farmers harvesting 216 thousand tons of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions so far this year.

These high yields are a testament to the region's commitment to modern agriculture. Funds from the regional budget are being used for the modernization of greenhouse complexes and the purchase of seeds. This investment has enabled farmers to work year-round and meet the high demand for their products.

The Krasnodar region's greenhouse production of vegetables has more than doubled over the past decade, reaching 109 thousand tons. This makes the region the leader in Russia for protected ground vegetable production, with an average of 18 kilograms per person.

The success of the Krasnodar region's agriculture sector can be attributed to the implementation of modern agrotechnologies. These include computer-controlled fertilizer application, lighting systems, and high-yielding varieties. These technologies have allowed farmers to maximise their yields and maintain the quality of their produce.

The greenhouse complex in Mozdok employs over 200 people, contributing to the local economy. With the allocation of 215 million rubles from the regional budget in 2025 to support vegetable growers, the future of the region's agriculture looks promising.

The Krasnodar region's agricultural revolution is a shining example of how investment in modern technologies and sustainable practices can lead to increased production and economic growth. The roses of Mozdok are just one testament to this transformation.
