the growers of the lithuanian vegetables and the lithuanian
greenhouse Associations, surprising the visitors by original
stands each year, are already thinking of the content and design
of their expositions in the exhibition AgroBalt 2010. The
growers plan to pay more attention to the visitors along with
an ordinary outdoor vegetable testing this year. even though
there will be no new cabbage due to the lengthy chill this year,
another pleasing surprise will be prepared for the visitors – a
memo, which will not only help to find a required seller of local
vegetables, but will remind of the good nutritional features of
vegetables.
the head of the lithuanian vegetable growers Association
Zofija Cironkienė claims that the Lithuanian growers are
practically the only ones in the whole eU, who do not process
their vegetables with chemicals after harvest gathering and
before putting them into storage, transporting or supplying
them to the market. true, a less chemicalized production tends
to retain its marketing appearance for a shorter period of time.
Yet, trust in the grower and the demand of such vegetables,
promotes the priority of local production.
