Leila Ivanidze is involved in agricultural activities in the village of Toloshi, Apindza Municipality. She had a small greenhouse where she grew vegetables but always wanted to develop and increase production. So, Leila participated in a new initiative of the UN Women and the Taso Foundation and purchased the necessary equipment for a new greenhouse.
Leila produces natural and delicious products, including radishes, various kinds of herbs, etc. When she expands the production, she will start selling them step by step.
In the future, Leila wants to add a solar heating system to her greenhouse to be able to sell products during all seasons of the year.
