According to him, in the Netherlands, due to high energy prices greenhouses are combined with industrial production.-At the first meeting with the representatives of the Dutch company "Green House", we exchanged the experiences about the possibilities for utilization of geothermal resources in agricultural production, and presented them subsidies and benefits if they decided to invest in Semberija, said Mile Pejčić, Head of the Department for the Economy and Agriculture.

The geothermal energy, according to the experts estimations, provides an efficient and cost-effective cultivation of flowers and vegetables in greenhouses, but this kind of production is very limited at the moment.
