Flagship investment projects of the CIS greenhouse industry

Over 70 top managers of commercial greenhouses and investment projects from Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova confirmed their participation in the 4th Annual International Greenhouse Complexes Russia and the CIS Forum 2019 (4-5 December, Moscow).
