YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The second international
Armagroforum allowed Armenian agricultural organizations to reach
numerous agreements with foreign businessmen and organizations. The
Armenian Minister of Agriculture Davit Lokian stated this at the
concluding plenary sitting of the forum on September 23. He announced
that the next Armagroforum will be held in 2008.
According to the minister, the forum participants discussed a number of
issues, particularly those related to agrarian reforms, agricultural
processing, food safety, export of agricultural products, etc. In his
words, these problems will be solved only if the legislative field on
agriculture will be regulated in Armenia. It was noted that a draft
law on foodstuffs safety is now in circulation in the RA National
Assembly, and the Armenian government will submit the draft law on
corporation by December of this year.
Advisor to the Armenian Prime Minister Vladimir Movsisiab said that
although some progress has been made in the Armenian agriculture
there are still many problems that cannot be solved in one or three
years. In his words, the sphere of agriculture is in urgent need of
capital investments that should be aimed at developing the agrarian
sector. V. Movsisian underlined that there is no point in speaking
about development of the Armenian agriculture if these investments
are not used efficiently. "The state must do everything to develop
the agricultural sphere, becuse if we do not have a developed village,
we'll not have developed agriculture," V. Movsisian said.
