25.11.2011 17:32 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the concept of development of vegetable growing and processing industry till 2015. For this period, it is scheduled to attract 30.8 billion UAH for the development of industries. 650 million UAH will be allocated from the state budget and another 150 million UAH - from municipal budgets. The remaining funds will be invested by economic entities. That will allow to increase volume of output of high-quality domestic vegetable goods and to reduce their prices.
The Government plans to increase production of vegetable production up to 10 million tons per year, what will allow supplying internal needs. Now the population grows about 90% of all vegetables. By 2015, the Government plans to increase the share of farms that specialize in large commodity industrial production. This will allow creating additional 40 thousand jobs.
The implementation of the concept will allow reducing the loss of grown products. Currently, 30% of production is lost due to lack of appropriate conditions in storages and processing facilities. So, over the next 4 years, new greenhouse complexes, modern vegetable storages and enterprises of processing industry, especially near regional centers, will be actively built.
The main purpose of the concept is to provide the population with high quality and at the same time affordable products and vegetable processing industry. Now up to 30% of vegetables sold through retailers are imported. Manufacturing our own products requires significant investments of money provided by the concept. The amount of money will be specified each year in course of preparation of state and local budgets.
