"This project implies cluster development. In addition to introducing modern technologies with this project, investors plan to increase and ehnance the current practice of growing fruits in neighboring farms for collection of raw material.

The orchards will grow apples, pears, apricots, plums, peaches and cherries. As part of a full production cycle establishment, including storage, sorting, processing and freezing of products, it is planned to produce fruit puree and concentrate - raw materials for baby food.
