The measures were approved on March 25, 2026, with a target to develop at least 940 hectares of greenhouses by the end of 2027. The new zone, named Surkhon-Agro, will operate for 30 years with a possibility of extension.
It will be located near the Oltin Voha area and will offer tax, customs and other incentives provided for free economic zone participants. The project includes the establishment of an agrologistics center with facilities for sorting, packaging and cooling fresh produce.
Why this matters: For operators, the real question is whether the sensing, control, or data layer creates faster and better decisions. The facilities that win are the ones that turn visibility into tighter control and tighter control into better outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LED fixture selection matter in controlled environment agriculture?
Lighting decisions affect both crop performance and energy intensity. Fixture efficiency, spectral control, and placement all influence how much value a facility gets from every kilowatt-hour.
What should growers evaluate before adopting new LED systems?
Growers should look at fixture efficiency, controllability, crop-specific use case, integration with existing controls, and the operational payback period instead of treating lighting as a standalone hardware purchase.
