Last week, the first strawberries were harvested at the Kazakh greenhouse grower Greenhouse Technologies of Kazakhstan (GTK) Ltd. The greenhouse in the north of Kazakhstan started with a test production of strawberries in the propagation department of the complex. The young plants are imported from the Netherlands and have been specially selected to give local consumers a tasty, sweet and quality product. 
GTK is one of the leading greenhouse growers in Kazakhstan and the strawberries are an addition to their standard productions; on a total acreage of 4.6 hectares, the company grows cucumbers, tomatoes, different varieties of salad, plus radishes. A new mobile gutter system compartment for salad production is currently under construction, with plans to start production in mid-October 2015.
