All processes at the enterprise are fully automated, including control of microclimate, lighting and irrigation systems, which ensures stable high quality of colors. The first Yaroslavl orchids will go on sale in the summer of 2025 through large federal retail chains.

The company also plans to start exporting its products, initially to Belarus, and then to other CIS markets. The expansion of the project provides for the reconstruction of an additional 7 hectares of greenhouses between 2026 and 2028. Anthuria and ornamental-deciduous plants will be grown in these areas.

By 2028, the company plans to reach a production volume of 4.5 million pots of phalenopsis and 6 million pots of roses annually. The projected annual turnover by this time will amount to ₽5,5 billion.

Since 2017, the Yaroslavsky greenhouse plant has been developing the flower direction, actively introducing innovative technologies, including robotic complexes and microclonal plant reproduction. At the moment, the company is a leader in the production of potted and cut roses, as well as ornamental and deciduous plants, supplying products to most of the largest federal retail chains in Russia.^[1]
