Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A Spanish delegation visited agricultural enterprises in Uzbekistan's Tashkent region as part of the Uzbek-Spanish business forum, examining modern technologies used to cultivate vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants and exploring opportunities for further cooperation.
The delegation's first stop was a greenhouse complex operated by Agrohouse LLC in Tashkent district. Covering 7 hectares, the facility produces seedlings of tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and other agricultural crops, alongside various ornamental flowers.
During the visit, representatives of the company briefed the Spanish delegation on its production processes, greenhouse capacity, cultivation technologies and operating conditions.
The delegation then visited an intensive orchard complex operated by Eko Agro Product LLC in Yukori Chirchik district, which covers a total area of 140 hectares.
Apple orchards occupy 91 hectares of the site, while pear trees cover 25 hectares and peach trees account for 11 hectares. A further 4 hectares each are allocated to apricots and plums.
