There is great potential on the construction of 3,750 hectares of greenhouses in the Isfahan Province (central Iran), the Director of the Isfahan Province Agriculture Department Mehrdad Moradmand told IRNA, Trend reports.

According to Moradmand, so far, the greenhouses have been built on the 2,150 hectares of land in the province.
