Recently, talk about a business based on growing greenery, you can hear even in public transport and forums of housewives. Why green? And because this product is one of the most popular on the market. Greenery is bought all year round, and no table can do without dill or parsley, onions or lettuce leaves. And given the fact that even a child is able to cope with the growing of greenery (qualification and special knowledge are not needed), this business is becoming more relevant for a wide variety of people. Everything depends on the size of the room and the starting capital. However, the investments are not so great!
How to grow greens, and can you make money on it? We understand.
How to grow green herbs in home and industrial conditions for sale: the basics of technology
For the beginning we are determined with the goals. Why are we going to grow greens? For yourself, at the soup and with the subsequent sale of surplus, for sale near the store for 10-20 beams per day or for the realization of this greens on a large scale for greater profits?
It should be noted that if there is a summer cottage and land, the costs for fertilizers and planting material will not be appreciable. True, with the seasonal nature of the business, no significant profit is expected. It needs more rational approach and more significant investments .
So, what is the technology of growing?
Criteria and requirements for the premises for growing greenery in winter and summer

We choose the soil for growing greenery:features of the seed
Today, 7 basic soil variants are used for cultivation of greenery.
- Natural soil
That is, the earth. The most budgetary option, which does not require special investment. The tanks are filled with earth, add peat with top dressing, plant seeds, plus lighting and warmth - that's all. A start. You can buy land already with a full "set" of fertilizer / fertilizer. Do not interfere and sand, extra. - Sawdust (except pine, oak and other species harmful to greenery)
They are processed with boiling water and put into containers.
Pros: Does not rot greens, there is no smell, dill-parsley grow quickly, sawdust is cheap (sometimes they get free of charge). - Hydroponic method
It is a system for growing greenery (or other crops), consisting of trays with water. To plants, which water touches only the roots, nutrient mixtures come through the tubes.
Pros: very rapid growth of greenery, there is no need for soil, intensive development of foliage (and not of the root system).
Minus is the price of the device. - Gravel
Pros: practicality, low cost, air permeability.
Cons - solid weight, does not hold water. - Coconut fiber
Pluses a lot: durability, environmental friendliness, universality, etc.
Less is the cost. - Expanded clay
The best material for using hydroponics.
Pros - price, moisture retention, lightness. - Hydrogel
A new material in the form of granules, which, when swollen, retain moisture for a long time.
Pros: air permeability, constant moisture retention, no damage to plants.
Minus is the price.
List of necessary devices, facilities and containers, which will be needed for growing greenery.
- Hydroponics
A system that reduces almost to zero the risk of infection of plants with some kind of disease and allows to grow greens in the year-round mode. The choice of the system depends on the scale of the business. For an apartment - one installation, for industrial scales - the other. The assortment is wide.
In the absence of a large "kubyshka" under the mattress, it makes sense to think about hydroponics with your own hands. - Materials for insulation
When growing greenery on the site you need a greenhouse. And if the "holy of holies" will be located in the garage (basement), then you need a flexible heater, foam, reflective light foil, etc. - Shelvings
They can be bought, ordered or made independently, taking into account the height of green plants. - Lighting
You can use ordinary light bulbs or fluorescent lights (they are preferred). - The irrigation system (or watering cans)
- Heatersto maintain a certain temperature in the room.
- Soil and planting material, fertilizers
- Of containersneed a wide pallets, containers for settling water, containers for plants (pots, bottles or boxes with holes for draining the water).
- Thermometer (control the air temperature).
- Foil
Her knowledgeable people wrap up pots to protect plants from overheating the soil.
How to grow green all year round?
This business does not depend on the season in only a few cases, that is, if the greens are grown ...
- In equipped greenhouses.
- In the apartment (or insulated garage).
- With the help of hydroponics.
If the business "grows" in the open air, on the dacha beds, it will be necessary to "carry" them to the cold room during the cold season.
Planting material - seeds
What are the ways to grow greenery at home?
- Dismantle(using bulbs). The most convenient option.
- Extended cultivation. The option is suitable for those who grow greens on beds. Plants are simply excavated from the ground in front of the cold (entirely) and transferred to the premises.
- Cultivation from seedlings. Minus - seedlings need to buy or grow it yourself.
- Seeding of seeds. The classic option.
The choice of seeds is also a separate issue. To not then wail, what a horror came out of the pot, and how to sell it, you need select seeds carefully , in advance studying manufacturers and testimonials of experienced businessmen.
It is worth noting that costs for seeds are minimal . For example, the packaging of onion seeds does not exceed 12 rubles, and parsley - about 7 rubles.
You can pay attention to the greens in containers (already with roots) - we buy and accurately transplanted.
Which greenery for growing is more profitable? Features of cultivation of dill, parsley, cilantro, celery for sale
Pros in growing greenery set. This is the ease of the process, and low cost of seeds, and unpretentiousness of plants, and modest investment (if you do not buy hydroponics). And also I must say about the high year-round demand for products and high profits relative to investments. The main thing is to decide on the kind of greenery from which your business will grow. So, what is more profitable to grow?
Growing dill as a business

- The main feature is resistance to colds.
- Seeds are rising long.
Growing green salad as a business (green salad, watercress)

- Salad does not like heat and needs constant watering.
As for demand among consumers, it leads here, of course, green onion (by the way, the least demanding option), in second place - dill , the third parsley , and then all the rest.
Speaking about profitability, experts unanimously singled out leaf salad (the vegetative period is not more than 25 days).
Features of cultivation of dill, parsley, cilantro, salad, celery and other greens in winter and summer
The conditions for growing greenery in the summer are approximately identical for each species.
With the onset of the cold for heat-loving species, special conditions of care.
Business plan for growing greenery
Sales market. This is the first thing that needs to be determined. To begin with, market analysis. That is, the study of prices for greens, demand (which is more profitable), places of possible sale. Where to sell? There are many options - to take to the store or to the market, to the catering organization (for example, to the cafe, the canteen), to the vegetable stores.
We consider expenses and profit (approximate calculations)
Growing green onions in the apartment.
- When placing containers in a room of 20 square meters in 2-3 tiers, we get 30 squares of area for sowing.
- 1 kg of sowing onions = 12-15 rubles. (wholesale). On 1 square meter of a dense landing will leave 10 kg of onions. On 30 squares - 300 kg of onions (about 4 thousand rubles.).
- Fertilizers - about 2. 5 thousand rubles. per month. On the packaging - about 5-7 thousand rubles. For lamps - 10-15 thousand rubles.
- Water + electricity = 2-2.5 thousand rubles. per month. Fare.
- Harvest from 1 square meter - 10 kg of onions (minimum). That is, 600 kg / month with 2 harvests per month.
- The wholesale price is 70-80 rubles / kg. Accordingly, the profit = about 45 thousand rubles. per month (minus costs). It is worth noting that the costs in the future are not so large, so the net profit, even with a modest calculation, will be from 30 thousand rubles.
Higher yields are expected in the presence of an equipped greenhouse (expenses for a greenhouse - 40-130 thousand rubles). And even more so, if there is a hydroponic installation (about 35 thousand rubles for a room of 30 square meters).
And you can make a "horse's move" and buy in bulk mini-pots, in which the greens will grow and then be sold. Greenery in pots is attractive aesthetically, more demanded by the consumer and stored longer.
Registration and taxes
For the cultivation of greenery in order to sell it on the market, business registration, of course, is not required. But it is unprofitable to hand over greens to second-hand dealers, to sell yourself uncomfortably and uncomfortably, and for complete sale of products (shops, etc.), one can not do without registration.
Therefore, as soon as the scale of the harvest passes for "How to sell it in such a quantity without documents?", Register the IP (coding OKVED - A.01.12.2.), As an agricultural producer (preferential form of taxation - ESKH, 6 percent of profits); and continue to work quietly for yourself.
On a note:
Always make the first profit in business development.
Good afternoon. My name is Garmashov Alexander, I'm from the city of Stavropol. Five years ago I was interested in the question of the profitability of the hothouse economy. Despite the existing competition, all owners of greenhouses had a stable and solid income. And now, four years ago, I grow potted flowers in my greenhouse and one of the most valuable products in the stores - greens.
Today, my business for growing greenery in a greenhouse is the largest in the city. The contracts are concluded with more than a hundred shops and individual entrepreneurs.
The existing greenhouse occupies more than three hundred square meters, is equipped with a system of ventilation, irrigation, ventilation, irrigation and shading. There is a well and boilers for heating the room. Optimum temperature and lighting are maintained throughout the year.
Attendants - three workers who care for plants, planting, collecting and protecting the greenhouse.
The financial side of the issue is:
- initial costs - from 500 000 rubles;
- labor costs - from 70 000 rubles per month;
- other expenses (light, seedlings, fuel, etc.) - from 40 000 rubles per month;
- monthly profit - from 400 thousand rubles a month.
Does the greenhouse generate income as a business?
The construction of greenhouses and the cultivation of greenery, vegetables and flowers is a profitable direction.
Its advantages:
- low construction costs and simple solutions to organizational issues;
- high payback. As a rule, to cover costs really in a year after the commencement of work;
- constant demand for products. If you grow vegetables and greens, you can be sure of a stable demand for the goods. The only issue is price;
- grown products are always available for personal consumption (if it comes to vegetables and greens). You are engaged in growing, so you are sure of the quality.
But there are drawbacks to the business idea of the greenhouse:
- large costs for electricity, because a large area of the greenhouse needs to be illuminated almost around the clock;
- availability of business seasonality factor. In winter, the demand for goods is much higher. In the summer to find a market for a good price, as a rule, is much more difficult;
- it is necessary to solve the issue of delivering the goods to the buyer independently, and this - additional costs.
How should the greenhouse business plan for growing vegetables look like?
To achieve success and quickly recoup the costs, do the following work:
1. Decide what will grow in your greenhouse.There are enough options - it can be onion, parsley, house flowers, greens and other plants.
One of the best ways to earn is to grow vegetables, for example, carrots, kohlrabi, broccoli, potatoes, leeks, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, pepper and so on.
2. Decide on the growing system.A good option is hydroponics. The peculiarity of this system is full automation of the process, minimal costs and high efficiency.
Each plant grows in its capacity with water, which receives additional fertilizers and nutrients.
The downside of the system is that vegetables acquire an unnatural "watery" taste.
If you plan to develop long-term cooperation with representatives of outlets, then this method is better to refuse.
Get delicious vegetables can be grown on the ground or by means of special mobile beds.
By the way, the latter option is most preferable. With this method, vegetables acquire a truly "natural" taste and are no different from those grown in a country house under the open sun.
3. Find a site for the greenhouse.At the initial stage, an area of about 130-150 square meters is needed for the greenhouse. But look for a place with the prospect of further expansion.
When searching, consider the possibility of power supply, hole penetration or water supply. Of great importance is the quality of the soil. The average cost of rental costs - from 30 thousand rubles, but you can find and cheaper.
4. Pick up the staff.At all desire to cope with such business independently does not leave - industrious assistants are necessary. It is advisable to take two or three people who will take care of vegetables, planting, harvesting and doing other work.
The financial part of the question will look like this:
- payment of rent of the ground under a greenhouse - from 30 000 rubles a month;
- purchase and arrangement of a greenhouse - from 400 000 rubles;
- payment of electricity - from 15 000 rubles per month;
- the cost of deductions and taxes - from 15 000 rudders a month.
Total costs - from 500-600 thousand rubles.
How to install a greenhouse?
If you are building a small greenhouse, you can build it yourself. In the case of erecting a capital structure, then find specialists. The business idea of a greenhouse is a promising direction.
But for its implementation it is important to build a quality greenhouse, taking into account all the rules and norms.
It is important not only to erect a structure, but also to organize watering, to bring soil, to bring electricity, to install a boiler and so on. It is better to look for a company ready to do everything "turnkey", right up to resolving the issues with the electricity supply organization.
The cost of construction and improvement is from 400 000 rubles.
Home-based business to make money on your greenhouse
Is the business of growing green in a greenhouse?
Growing greens (dill, parsley, onions) is one of the most promising directions (I can safely say this on my own experience). The business pays off very quickly.
All that is necessary for growth is good land, little water, heat and sun. At the same time from one square meter you can collect more than three kilograms of onion per season.
Given that the average annual price of about 50 rubles for a small bundle weighing 150 grams, then one "square" of land can bring 1000 rubles. Greens can be grown in two tiers, which increases the overall profitability.
How to build a greenhouse for business?
You can choose one of three options:
- build a greenhouse made of polycarbonate. Feature of the material - the ability to completely miss the sun's rays and lightness. For the construction of such a greenhouse does not need to establish a foundation, which significantly reduces the cost of construction. On the other hand, polycarbonate itself is a very expensive material;
- greenhouses made of polyethylene are of low cost (this is the main and almost the only advantage). Of the minuses - insufficient light transmission (vegetables grow much slower) and low strength. In practice, the repair of the greenhouse has to be done almost every year;
- glass structures are expensive. But there are more advantages - they pass light well, have a long service life and allow the greenhouse to be used all year round.

What is special about growing chrysanthemums in a greenhouse?
Very popular flowers today are chrysanthemums. Their peculiarity is that they are absolutely not capricious and not whimsical.
But if you were visited by business ideas of a greenhouse for growing these flowers, then consider several important requirements:
- chrysanthemums require quality soil and special attention to the choice of cuttings;
- the light day should not be less than 14-15 hours;
- pay special attention to temperature, fertilizing and watering;
- produce disease prevention.
Table number 2. Prices for greenhouse products in Russia
Typically, for planting such flowers you can do with a simple garden primer with a little addition of sandy soil or humus. During planting, deeply rooted roots are not worth it - this will complicate the "work" of the plant.
As for the light, in summer there will be enough sun rays, and in the remaining periods the greenhouse should be illuminated by artificial sources. The optimum temperature regime is about 17-18 degrees Celsius.
At the moment of buds appearance, it is desirable to reduce the temperature to a level of 10 degrees Celsius.
The first fertilizing should be carried out 11-12 days after planting. During growth, the best option is nitrogen-based fertilizers.
When buds start to form, it is desirable to use special phosphoric-potassium additives (they should be brought directly under the root). Pay special attention to dosage - it is important not to overdo it.
When buying chrysanthemums for planting, consider that in late spring the cost will be the maximum - up to 17-19 rubles, but by the end of May and the beginning of June it is decreasing by two or three rubles. A little later cuttings and can be bought at all for nothing - for 6-8 rubles.

Business in the manufacture of greenhouses. Is it profitable?
If there are arms on the shoulders and a desire for construction, then you can earn on the manufacture and installation of greenhouses. The simplest technology is the assembly of a structure using polycarbonate.
As a rule, first the frame is made, to which the sheets are fastened. The latter are fixed with each other by means of an airtight tape. Formation of the frame is made with the use of an iron profile of galvanizing (sold in any store).
Installation of the structure is carried out directly on the selected site (you can do without a foundation). After the construction is completed, only the windows and doors remain to be installed. The total cost of erecting the structure is about 8-10 thousand rubles.
The procedure takes about two days. The cost of work for the customer - from 20 thousand rubles.
Conclusion
Decide on what you want to grow, understand the new direction and become the best in your field. Write (order) a quality business plan and implement it in practice.
All roads are open. Moreover, you now know what a good greenhouse business is, and where to begin your business.
The search for planting material should be completed in January-February, since in spring the price increases significantly in them. When purchasing seeds, try to agree on periodic supplies.
Selecting seeds is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. In this task, try to focus on varietal seeds. It is very important when buying large lots to insure yourself against fakes. Therefore, only cooperate with reliable sellers. Do not buy seeds in bags. For varietal plants, you should not give preference to hybrids, it is better to stop for zoned varieties.
Execution of documents
For those who wish to grow seedlings as a business, it is important to arrange all the permits. The seller of plants requires the registration of phytosanitary certification. When entering the market, prepare for regular inspections of the sanitary and epidemiological station. You can get such a certificate in a sanitary inspection.
As a legal form of activity, your business is better registered as an individual enterprise.
Organization of a greenhouse
The success of developing a business plan for selling seedlings depends largely on the conditions in which the plants will grow. The growth of any culture depends on the quality of the soil, the temperature of the earth and air.
The earth is prepared in the autumn, as in the spring, during the planting works, it is difficult to find a quality ground under the snow. Specialists recommend using part of the forest land, a part - manned from the garden.
Seeds are best planted in boxes that must be placed before the appearance of 2 leaves in the room (if the hothouse is not heated). And then you need to shoot the shoots and plant them in the soil - in the greenhouse. It is recommended to start growing plants not in beds, but in specialized shelves, which should be 1 meter from the ground, at the same time being sectional. After you can sell the seedlings, the shelves can be removed and use the space at your discretion.
One of the most important aspects is the construction of a greenhouse. If the soil and planting crops do not require large investments, then the greenhouse requires considerable expenses. The amount of money invested depends on the volume of business that you create. Remember, the more money you invest, the faster they will pay off and bring in revenue. For a rural entrepreneur who does not have a lot of money, you can get along inexpensively. But the big income in this case should not be counted, and the forces for caring for the plants will go a lot.
But if you are planning big turns, purchase of seedlings in bulk, a large-scale project, and even a professional heated hothouse - you will have to pay a lot. On the other hand, working in such a place is a real pleasure and a high yield.
Seedlings in this case will be excellent, and in the winter you can do the cultivation of herbs and onions for sale.
The set of basic works for trade includes:
- hiring of personnel (the amount depends on the starting investments, the scale of the project and the availability of outlets);
- transport provision;
- registration of business, issuance of permits;
- rent of a trading place (tent, pavilion).
Financial business plan for growing seedlings
In order to grow 1200 pcs. seedlings, it is necessary:
- greenhouse - film or from (approximate size - 3 x 5 m);
- seeds, bulbs, seedlings;
- heating system of the greenhouse (plus electricity costs).
From 1 m² of the area, approximately 100 roots of the seedling are obtained. This means that the early planting can be sold for 9-12 rubles per root. On average, a greenhouse with an area of 15 m² will yield an income of 12 thousand rubles. If you build a greenhouse more than 100 m², you can count on a profit of 100-120 thousand rubles. As already mentioned, in winter you can grow greens or vegetables.

Video: business on the greenhouse
What is profitable to grow in a greenhouse? This question is asked by many beginning farmers and owners of personal subsidiary farms who wish to succeed in a difficult greenhouse business.
However, before talking about the profitability of this or that greenhouse plant, it is worth mentioning about the back side of the issue - costs. Depending on the climatic conditions, the profitability of growing individual crops, and in general greenhouse cases may differ sharply.
In some forums you can meet people who are eager to start a greenhouse business in the conditions of Siberia and the northern regions of the Russian Federation. Individual enthusiasts even plan to carry out year-round production. In view of their inexperience, they do not yet know how much resources can be spent on the maintenance of the greenhouse.
The main disadvantage of greenhouse business
The very first thing that any greenhouse project can bring to a minus is the heating of the greenhouse. To build a brick house and a polycarbonate greenhouse is not the same thing. For example, heating the house at 50 square meters. m. Costs in the winter time in 2500 rubles / month, then a thin greenhouse of the same area will go 5 to 10 times more. Even in the southern regions, farmers do not keep the greenhouse year-round, but open the season only in February-March.
A similar alignment goes with the illumination of the greenhouse. Dim light as in the apartment just "does not ride." Plants in cold weather need the same light day as they get in the warm season. The light should be bright, and this is a very large expense for electricity. What can I say, even for growing tomatoes on the windowsill you need additional light.
Someone may object - "so in fact we will sell the product at a high price, see how much a tomato costs in February." Prices that can be observed in the product network should not be a guide. Wholesale vegetables and greens are realized almost two times cheaper than those prices indicated on the display. This is because retailers have their own costs associated with logistics, markdowns, taxes, salaries of sellers and so on.
How much money does it take to start a successful business of growing vegetables and plants in a greenhouse?
And the most important thing. If a farmer does not have any experience in growing a crop, that is, he can not get the right amount of products - losses will be enormous.Of course, this does not mean that year-round growing in greenhouses in a temperate climate is impossible. It is possible and there are many similar farms. But, all such projects cost a lot of money and a small farmer, of course it's too expensive.
When is it better to start a greenhouse business
Which one can draw a conclusion - profitable growing in a greenhouse should start with small volumes and before the opening of the season. The main task of the greenhouse is to harvest a few weeks a week earlier than a similar product will appear on the market from summer cottages. Prices will still be very attractive, and the demand is high, so you can implement the product without any problems.
A small greenhouse, firstly does not ruin the farmer in case of no luck. And secondly, it will allow us to assess the market and will make it clear whether it is worthwhile to deal with this matter or not.
Technology of growing plants
So, let's go directly to the disclosure of the main issue of our topic - which plants are more profitable to grow in a greenhouse? And here is our top 5 best greenhouse ideas.
1. Seedling
Strange as it may seem, but growing seedlings is one of the most profitable ideas for a greenhouse. In spring, the demand for seedlings is everywhere - it is bought as owners of suburban areas and local areas, as well as other farms specializing in plant growing.
There may be a lot of options here. Take, for example, seedlings of strawberries. In the fall, it is possible to make seedlings of freezing seedlings (for more details on seedling frego read in the article " Strawberry business - 4 ways to profitably grow strawberries"), And in spring plant these saplings in a greenhouse and sell them for several months.
On one square meter you can safely arrange up to several hundred roots. Retail price of one bush, depending on the variety is from 50 to 100 rubles. They sold 10,000 roots - they earned from 500 thousand rubles. To be convinced of real demand for seedlings of a strawberry, it is enough to look at statistics of search inquiries of Yandex.
So, according to the vordstata, the phrase "buy seedlings of strawberries" only in April is trying to find about 18,000 times. Of these, Moscow accounts for slightly more than 4,000 requests. This suggests that marketing of seedlings can be carried out not only through markets and nurseries, but also via the Internet.
The same can be said about the seedling of flowers (petunia), tomatoes, cabbage. The demand is colossal.
2. Vegetables
Cucumbers and tomatoes are the most tested greenhouse crops. Vegetables are bought always and everywhere, regardless of the crisis phenomena.
The big plus of the same cucumbers is that they are kept long enough. The harvest can be stored for weeks, although fresh cucumber is bought very quickly. Especially if it is grown in the same region where it is sold.
The yield of greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes, with proper technology, is 30 - 45 kg per square meter. m. The greenhouse at 300 square meters. m. can bring up to 12 tons of vegetables per season. In 2016, in May, cucumbers in our stores (Ulyanovsk) cost an average of 80 rubles per kilogram.
If for some reason you can not come to an agreement with vegetable kiosks and grocery stores, then you can sell the product yourself without any special problems on your own. If the farm has a roomy car, then you can just stand by the road with good car traffic, hang the signboard "vegetables with LPH", indicate the price tag just below the store prices and there will be no release from customers. Each customer can give out business cards and soon you will release the products directly from your hothouse site.
3. Flowers
A slightly more complicated and rather southern variant of hothouse business is the idea of growing a flower cut. The primary task in this case is to get the main harvest for the March and then May holidays.
How much you can earn here. So, modern technologies of growing roses allow you to get from one bush to 250 slices per year. One square meter can freely grow up to 4 bushes. That is, with 1 square. For the year 1000 slices are collected. Greenhouse per 100 square meters. m. will grow up to 100 thousand slices!
The average wholesale price for one cut of a rose is 40 rubles. By not a cunning calculation, we get revenue of 4 million rubles a year. This is a lot of money, and even with the large costs of keeping the greenhouse, the profit remains high.
There are truth, several serious "pitfalls" that hamper the widespread development of this business. Firstly, flowers, and even more so roses, are very moody and require special care. Small deviations from the norm - the flowers turn out to be frail and not commodity. Secondly, the costs of creating greenhouses for growing flowers are slightly higher than in the case of vegetables. Finally, in the third - marketing! Flowers today are grown by more and more farmers, besides the lion's share of the goods comes from abroad. Competition is extremely high, and not everyone can succeed in it.
4. Strawberries
In more southern regions (the Krasnodar Territory, Kuban), growing strawberries in a greenhouse is quite common. Today, there are several effective technologies for growing strawberries in greenhouses: Dutch and Israeli technology, vertical beds (trukars), growing of seedlings "Free", hydroponics. Some of them manage to reach a yield of 30 tons per ha.
In the south, fresh strawberries can be seen on the shelves as early as May. But in the central and Volga regions, finding an early strawberry of local production is not a simple task. This is due to the fact that the berry has an extremely short shelf life (only 2 days) - it just does not reach the solvent buyers of the northern regions. And the one that arrives, as a rule, is prohibitively expensive and does not look very much like a berry.
On May 25, I decided to "price out" the prices for strawberries in our city (Volga region) and somehow found a berry for sale, which was surprisingly delivered from Uzbekistan. The price is 350 rubles / kg! And surprisingly, people took it.
Which one can draw a conclusion - at such prices, the cultivation of strawberries in a greenhouse, even in a temperate climate, looks quite promising.
You can start small - from a greenhouse to 50-100 square meters. Even with a primitive technology using drip irrigation and agglomerates, you can get a good harvest 10 to 12 days before the summer berry. And this will be enough to sell strawberries at a high price. Even 200 rubles. per kilogram will allow you to go into a plus. When people see an imported berries for 350 rubles. and a local one for 200 rubles. their choice will be obvious.
5. Greenery
A profitable business can be cultivation of greenery in the greenhouse. First of all, it is: a bow on a feather, salads, parsley, dill, coriander, basil and sage.
