ENTERPRISES PROCESSING VEGETABLES UNCONSCIENTIOUS, RA MINISTER OF
AGRICULTURE CONSIDERS
YEREVAN, December 30 (Noyan Tapan). The Armenian enterprises
processing vegetables are unconscientious, that's why the laying-in
volumes have reduced three times this year. Davit Lokian, RA Minister
of Agriculture, said this during the December 30 press conference.
According to him, these companies didn't carry out the necessary
payments to the farms in time, in consequence of which the latters
reduced the sowing areas of vegetables (mainly tomatoes) and some
refused to cooperate with processing companies at all. The Minister,
in particular, mentioned that the large companies of Ararat marz
didn't discharge their obligations. The Minister prognosticated that
the companies laying in store vegetables will have to raise the prices
for vegetables in order to rouse interest in the farms. According to
D.Lokian, the profit of the farms from 81 thousand tons of grapes laid
in store this year made $25m, which is a sufficient result. And the
envisaged amounts of laying-in of apricots and peaches weren't
provided because of the small crop.
