A new fruit processing and packing line will be put into operation this autumn on the territory of a super-intensive orchard that belongs to a company from Olanesti village of Stefan Voda district, IPN reports.
Prime Minister Iurie Leanca visited Stefan Voda district and saw how the cold-storage facility that started to be used in 2013, as a result of investments of 15-18 million lei, works. Owing to this fridge, the cherries can be kept for a month after they are harvested.
