YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: Experts from Armenian agriculture
ministry predict that vine-growing farmers will gather this year
around 190,000 metric tons of grape from some 150,000 hectares. If
their forecasts come true Armenia will collect this year 40,000 tons
more than in 2004.
They also say this year's crop is healthy with no traces of disease.
Local wineries are ready to procure as much of grape as will come at
an average price of 150 drams per kilo. Last year Armenian wineries
bought a total of 79,000 tons of grape, of which 20,000 tons were
bought by a French-owned Yerevan Brandy Company (YBC). This year YBC
plans to buy 25,000 tons more
