Poland set for largest eco-greenhouse

Agricultural group T. Mularski is to develop Europe's largest greenhouse for tomato production. Polish horticultural company T. Mularski has revealed that it is to develop Europe's largest greenhouse facility for tomato growing, located close to the City of Opole in the south-west region of the country.

According to a report in Gazeta Wyborcza, the project will cost an estimated PLN250m (€60.8m).

The facility will be designed with the environment in mind, the report said, with greenhouses to be powered by steam – a by-product of the nearby Opole power station.

Carbon Dioxide for use in the greenhouses will be purchased by the company from chemical plants located in Kedzierzyn and Pulawy.
