Tomato harvesting starts in Belje greenhouse in eastern Croatia

Author: Tanja Pernička

ZAGREB, 15 April  (Hina) - At the very start of this year's harvest season, the Belje greenhouse "Mitrovac" in eastern Croatia provided about 150 tonnes of early-season tomatoes to shopping centres, the Belje Plus company stated on Thursday.

This 4.5-hectare facility with the surface corresponding to eight football pitches annually grows 2,800 tonnes of this edible berry.

Tomato plants are sown in January in this greenhouse, while harvesting starts in early April and lasts until the end of November.

Each tomato plant produces about 20 kilogrammes of tomatoes per year, the greenhouse director Robert  Marković says.

The greenhouse employs 49 workers. It applies exclusively biological protection of the plants, and bumblebees are used as pollinators in the greenhouse.
