68,000 tons - compared with the Polish 1000, 000 tons less than seven percent. A Little. But the Polish economy grow more rarely 5000-6000 tons, while having the support of the European Union and the state. This allows the Poles have prices in dollars per kg. With state support local farmers in our country, unfortunately, bad. Here, in response to sanctions, Poles expelled from the market, and thanks for that. Horticultural farm equipment in our country is not made. At all. NO ONE UNIT !!! All of the storage with controlled atmosphere to forklifts, packaging and packaging equipment is bought in Italy, as well as new technologies and varieties, as well as the US and Japan. Its not, all finished off restructuring, whether she and her three labeled Gorbachev was wrong. Heavy and expensive apples Kuban gets our gardeners. But this, paradoxically, is the hope for the revival of Russian gardening - if it survived and developed in such difficult conditions, when the minimum support it can begin to grow rapidly. How are Pratchett, "If buried in the ground one gold coin, it will remain one gold coin. And if you bury the potato, in a good year it will bring three thousand percent profit))) »
