Political and economic changes in Russia over the last twenty years have resulted in a weak greenhouse vegetable industry. Greenhouse production of vegetables has decreased sharply since 1990, which, in turn, has created a dependence on imported vegetables despite their high prices and lower quality. Most existing greenhouse operations are undercapitalized and use outdated growing methods, obsolete facilities, and inefficient equipment.
Recent consumer studies in Russia show a strong preference for fresh local vegetables over imports due to the perception that shipped vegetables are less healthy. The result is an underserved market for locally grown vegetables in large population centers all over Russia. Despite the global economic downturn, demand for fresh vegetables in Russia is still increasing as consumers increase their consumption of fruit and vegetables.
The Russian government has a stated interest in improving the agriculture industry by offering such incentives as low-interest loans, tax breaks on equipment purchases, and energy subsidies for vegetable producers.
The Company is seeking a private equity partner.
