A new hazelnut plantation, featuring 10,000 Trebizond variety seedlings, has been established in the Karachay-Cherkessia (KCHR) region, with the first harvest expected in 2023. The project, which started in 2017, aims to yield about 1 ton of nuts per hectare. The plantation will not only supply the region with hazelnuts but also serve as a source of planting material for other farms. KCHR plans to expand its fruit plantations by 800 hectares by 2030, targeting an annual production of 64,000 tons of fruits.
