Russia is projected to have one of the highest vegetable harvests this year, with about 70% of the area already harvested for open-ground vegetables such as carrots, beets, cabbage, and onions, yielding almost 4 million tons. Greenhouse farms have also contributed about 1.1 million tons of cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. The country's vegetable production has a significant support from small enterprises, and this year's harvest is expected to exceed the previous year, marking a achievement in self-sufficiency in potatoes for the first time since 2015.
