Nurly meýdan, an individual enterprise located in Bereket, Balkan velayat, has been cultivating Dutch roses since 2014. The entire volume of flower production is focused on the domestic market, annually it is up to half a million roses.
And now a batch of these flowers is being prepared for shipment to retail outlets and specialty stores in Ashgabat and other cities of the country for Independence Day.
As reported in the newspaper “Neutral Turkmenistan”, the flower greenhouse occupies one hectare and is equipped with advanced imported equipment. Under the arches of the greenhouse there is a unique system of "artificial fog", conceived as a means of regulating the humidity of air flows. Fog is needed for sustainable plant growth.
The oldest employee of the greenhouse agronomist Anna Birchenko says:
- Now we are distributing the grown products and at the same time starting a new season. We have developed a business plan and prescribed about 20 more types of varietal rose seedlings from the Netherlands. Among the available varieties: “klapnika”, “avalania”, “pandy”, avalania peach, red and white, “naulin”, “jumilia”, “dolcevita” and others. Before we started growing roses, we were personally instructed by Dutch specialists who came to Turkmenistan to conduct seminars.
