Five years ago, a novice gardener Evgeny Zolotarev rented land near his native village of Medvezhka, M. Zhumabaev district, North Kazakhstan region. Over the years, he began to provide Petropavlovsk and the region with cabbage and other vegetables. Now he is building a winter greenhouse. However, in August of this year, all vegetable production may collapse – the farmer’s land lease expires, a Petropavlovsk.news correspondent reports. As Yevgeny Zolotarev, a North Kazakhstani vegetable grower, said, the new land legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan allows people like him to rent only 1 hectare of land. A young gardener runs the risk of being left without his favorite business, to which he has become attached with all his heart, and income, and the region without healthy food. Now the family company Cabbage in the Field grows vegetables on an area of 9 hectares. They don’t want to extend the lease. The legislation has changed. 1 ha is supposed to be leased. Nobody can do anything about it. I don’t know how to be, probably close! When I rented land, there were no restrictions. They can’t extend it either, because it’s impossible. Until August, the land is still ours, and then we’ll see. We will think about what to do, together with the department of land relations of the district, – says the head of the family company “Cabbage in the field” Yevgeny Zolotarev. In the Soviet years, there was a garden at the place where Evgeny works. Vegetables were also grown there for the benefit of the people of the region. — My grandmother lived nearby. He spent all his childhood in the garden and returned here again. Was abandoned land. Ros weed. Here they arranged a dump, – Eugene recalls how he began to work in his native land. The farmer plowed up the abandoned land. Removed trash. At first there were only 20 acres of cabbage. Now 9 hectares of various vegetables – white early and late varieties, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers and even watermelons. Yevgeny delivers products directly from the garden to the city’s supermarkets on his own. Cabbage is sold to the Soltustik SPK. Every fifth head of cabbage in the region is grown on the Zolotarev field. The vegetable grower plans to build a vegetable store, an eco-zone, develop the village, and attract migrants. In a five-year perspective, the agrarian intends to also engage in animal husbandry, build a dairy farm for 100 heads. We hope that the authorities of the district, region and country will make every effort to preserve the socially oriented business of the young and promising entrepreneur Yevgeny Zolotarev, Cabbage in the Field.
