Share of commercial orchards under drip irrigation in Ukraine twice as large as in Russia
The results of Fruit-Inform's study of the Russian and Ukrainian apple markets show that about 40% of areas under commercial orchards in Ukraine are currently under drip irrigation. For comparison, drip irrigation is used for only 20% of areas under commercial orchards in Russia. This information was presented by Ms. Tetiana Levchenko, Executive Editor of Fruit-Inform, at the 2nd International Conference “Apple Business of Ukraine & Russia – 2012”.
The expert also noted that only 43% of Ukrainian farmers use precooling technology after harvesting apples, while in Russia this technology is used by more than a half of commercial producers.
We would remind you that the fundamental study “Apples of Ukraine & Russia – 2012: Present Situation and Prospects in Growing, Storage, Handling, Processing and Marketing” will be available since September this year.
