This year, the investor introduced automated systems for soil preparation, irrigation and sowing, and packaging of planting material into the work of greenhouse complexes. This will allow the complex to reach its full capacity - 10 million seedlings per year.

“The line replaces almost all manual work. 15 cassettes with seedlings are “charged” per minute, 2.5 thousand per day. Previously, a team of 30 people worked on such a volume for two days. We have resolved the issue of import substitution, created our own machine for extracting seedlings from cassettes. We continue to work on improving this tool. When it is completely ready, it will speed up the process of extracting seedlings by 50 times compared to manual labor. We want to patent it,” said Vadim Moskvichev, General Director of Vanino Forestry Center LLC.
