CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

The Saratov region is the only region in Russia that combines three natural and climatic zones: forest-steppe, steppe and semi-desert. The location in the advantageous fourth light zone significantly reduces the cost of production of greenhouse complex products.

The shorter duration of the winter period in comparison with the central part of the country makes it possible to significantly reduce the costs of heating and lighting of premises, and maintenance of equipment.
