Pavlodar convicts work in a greenhouse and grow cucumbers

12 convicts were employed at the Pavlodar Greenhouse Plant.
Institution No. 44 (minimum security) The Department of UIS in the Pavlodar region has signed an agreement with ADAMEF LLP, which is a small business entity developing greenhouse farms. This gives complete independence from third-party supplies, and also ensures the self-employment of convicts and good earnings. Cucumbers are grown in a greenhouse with a total area of 3 hectares, then the products are sold to retail outlets.
- The variety is called Meva. It is very efficient and high-yielding. We have 73 thousand bushes here, the temperature regime should be here, we need to ventilate the greenhouse and water it on time, give vitamins.- says technologist Assel Sadykova.
The temperature in the greenhouse is from 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Large green leaves greedily absorb moisture and sunlight, and large cucumbers ripen in the beds.
- The administration of the institution, having studied the identity of the convicts, taking into account their education and skills, offered them a job in this organization, thereby giving them the opportunity to realize their potential in the field of vegetable cultivation and the opportunity to pay off claims. Transportation is carried out at the enterprise, and the employer also provides employees with lunch. Every day after the end of the working day, the convicts return to the location of the colony.- says the head of the institution Ardak Imangaliev.
By the way, the institution provides convicts for more than 20 enterprises of the city.
