In general, the country meets the need for potatoes, fresh vegetables and melons. However, high prices, a narrow range of products, lack of proper presentation associated with the high cost of packaging and packaging, high transport costs, and a decrease in consumer demand for domestic fruits and vegetables in the domestic and foreign markets have led to their lack of competitiveness.
