There are many agricultural complexes in the region, which have become recognizable brands over the years of their presence. One of the most famous is Lukhovitsky cucumbers. The famous selected cucumbers are grown in the greenhouse complex “Lukhovitsky Vegetables”, which have long become a quality standard. Strict phytosanitary control and the use of natural protection against pests make it possible to abandon the use of chemical methods of protection and grow environmentally friendly products.
A packaging and distribution center for storing and processing fresh vegetable products operates on the territory of the plant, which has no analogues in the world. The complex is equipped with a 4-tier automated storage area, which guarantees compliance with the highest standards of product savings and logistics. Equipment for automatic sorting, calibration and packaging guarantees the fastest, most efficient and accurate pre-sale preparation of fresh vegetables. Fruits “from the bush” will be on the shelves of retail chains and retail stores, such as “Magnit”, “Perekrestok”, “Pyaterochka”, “Dixie”, “O’Key”.
