A total of 65 participants from 12 countries, including Russia, Canada, Poland, China, and Australia, attended the first online meeting on the industrial cultivation of honeysuckle on November 25.

The Deputy Director for Research of the Institute of Horticulture of the NAAS, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences Alexander Yreshchenko, stated that Canadian varieties, especially Aurora, are preferred for industrial plantations due to their resilience in non-standard weather conditions.

However, success in the market requires active popularization and promotion.
