In the Stavropol Krai, the ongoing cabbage harvest has reached a significant milestone: over 330 tons have been collected from 38 hectares. This achievement is part of the wider vegetable-growing initiative across the region, where cabbage cultivation covers 130 hectares in total. The harvest, which began earlier in the season, will continue until late autumn, ensuring a steady supply of this nutritious crop for both local and national distribution.
The cabbage-growing districts in Stavropol include Blagodarnensky, Neftekumsky, Levokumsky, Kirovsky, Stepnovsky, Apanasenkovsky, Arzgirsky, Georgievsky, and Trunovsky. These regions have developed robust agricultural practices tailored to the area’s climatic and soil conditions. Farmers have primarily focused on domestic cabbage varieties such as “Amager,” “Slava,” and “Duchess,” known for their high yields, disease resistance, and suitability for long-term storage and processing.
The cabbage yields in Stavropol have been bolstered by ongoing investment in agriculture, including new irrigation and land reclamation projects. As reported on October 10 by the press office of the governor and the regional government, Governor Vladimir Vladimirov has instructed further support for these land improvement efforts, recognizing their critical role in maintaining high crop productivity. Enhanced irrigation systems, for instance, are crucial in mitigating the impact of weather fluctuations and ensuring consistent water supply.
Elenа Tambovtseva, the First Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Stavropol Krai, has emphasized the region’s commitment to achieving the best outcomes for local farmers. The government’s measures, such as subsidies for land reclamation, continue to help farmers optimize their operations and address challenges like water management, labor shortages, and market access.
Stavropol Krai’s successful cabbage harvest highlights the effectiveness of combining traditional agricultural knowledge with modern support measures. Continued investments in irrigation and innovative farming techniques promise even greater yields and economic benefits, underscoring the importance of sustainable agricultural development.
