In addition to testing products such as peppers, cucumbers and eggplants, we will also conduct trials on the cultivation of watermelons, melons and tropical fruits. As a result of these trials, we will move to the construction phase of appropriate greenhouses for the cultivation of the relevant vegetables and fruits.
