The Russian authorities are thinking about growing bananas in greenhouses, as they do in neighboring Kazakhstan. Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut stated this at the international forum of the Financial University, Interfax writes . She added that the Ministry of Agriculture will also work with technologies to be able to grow bananas.
“We are already thinking about growing bananas. I was in Kazakhstan last week. Kazakhstan began growing bananas in greenhouses. I don’t know, maybe we’ll come to this too. I don’t know why yet. So far, Ecuadorian bananas are cheaper. But everything is changing,” explained the head of the department.

The minister noted that a significant number of crop crops are grown in Russia. However, according to her, in order to achieve the goal set by Vladimir Putin - to increase the export of agricultural products by 1.5 times by 2030 compared to the level of 2021 - it is necessary to actively increase the export of processed products.
“We are increasing the export of flour, meat and dairy products. But we need to understand the world in which we live. Every self-respecting country wants to recycle itself, and that’s right,” the official believes.
The minister emphasized that currently the department’s key task is to grow wheat, because “the whole world eats it.”
