In the conditions of the constantly increasing competition on the fresh produce market one of the feasible directions of vegetable production may be the cucumber growing for the processing enterprises. The Lviv oblast farmers have a great advantage as they can work without the significant additional expenses both with a few Lviv oblast processors, and with the numerous processors of Ternopil and Zakarpattya oblast. Nevertheless, the commercial cucumber production on the large acreage requires specific knowledge and experience; most of the farmers willing to deal with cucumbers lack this experience. The Field day will be conducted in Busk exactly for those farmers who want to produce cucumber but do not know how.
On the Field day the representatives of the following companies will participate: the leading input suppliers demonstrating their commodities on the demosite; the processing enterprises; wholesale/retail trade enterprises; the leaders of farms, fruit and vegetable producers.
About 35 varieties and hybrids of cucumber will be demonstrated on the Field day. The participants of the event will see the modern technologies of cucumber production, the possibilities to minimize the production expenses on purpose to optimize the quality and profit characteristics. The AMP specialists, and also the representatives of the leading input companies, processing enterprises, wholesale/retail trade will share the experience of market operations and the requirements to the produce they are ready to purchase.
