Almost half of 316 hectares of arable land in Zartonk is covered with salt and not fit for being cultivated
Almost half of 316 hectares of arable land in Zartonk is covered with salt and not fit for being cultivated. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, salt was being regularly removed from the surface. However there are now only thorns and thistles growing all over the place, with no grass for cattle to graze.
