ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, January 11. Turkmenistan's 'Hemsaýa' economic society plans to put into operation another greenhouse with an area of 10 hectares for banana cultivation in the Kaakhka district of the Ahal region this year, Trend reports.
Currently, the company has a greenhouse with an area of 5 hectares in this area where Cavendish bananas are grown, and more than 40 specialists work.
The modern greenhouse is equipped with advanced equipment from Türkiye, Germany, and Spain, which has an automated temperature and humidity control system.
Furthermore, the greenhouse also uses water-saving irrigation methods for growing crops.
