Republic of Nagorno Karabakh
Recently at the session of the government a lsit, making whole the
sizes and values of the programs and arrangements foreseen by the NKR
state budget in the sphere of agriculture, has been established. Our
talk with the vice-premier, minister of of agriculture Armo Tsatrian
was about it and a number of developments anticipating in 2008.
- The new government has adopted a new policy towards agriculture:
a turn to a village and agriculture. Many people anticipate positive
changes from this turn. And at last, what is foreseen in 2008 in
the sphere of agriculture, what principles will be in the axis of a
new policy?
- Really, the policy, foreseen in this sphere, can be defined as "a
turn to a village and agriculture". The lines of the NKR President's
pre-election program fall in that axis: a satisfaction of a state
productive and purposeful assistance is foreseen in all the spheres
and all the levels of agriculture. So we can distinguish the fact of a
decrease of grain's crop yield. Naturally, it isn't strange, that the
first programs of state assisitance are directed to that sphere. So the
program of so called black ploughed land is in the process. The aim
of it is an improvement of arable lands, which have become exhausted
for years. Besides the above-mentioned programs, in the sphere of
cultivation in 2008 a number of arrangements are also foreseen. So,
in arrangements' scopes, directed to the protection of plants, an
organized struggle will be carried against rodents and locusts.
- Your listed programs touch basically upon cultivation. But what is
foreseen in the sphere of cattle-breeding?
- Like previous years, this year is also foreseen to realize
antiepidemic measures by state means. In 2008 innovations will be
also in that sphere. Serious attention will be paid to ancestral
cattle-breeding.
Concrete steps are foreseen in that direction: 360 million drams have
been allocated for acquiring 99 head of cows of "Shwits" sort, for
satisfaction of their feed and care and the material and technical
basis.
This program will be continuous.
- So far forth is satisfied the agriculture with specialists?
- On the whole, we have specialists, but the problem is, that the
majority belongs to elder generation and if today a corresponding
policy is not carried, in future difficulties can rise in that
question.
- One of the most important questions is the problem of reprocessing
of agricultural production.
- Of course, by now some steps have been taken in that direction. So
the representative of "Er-my" CJSC assures, that a problem of grain
purchase won't be. At the same time, steps are taken for satisfaction
of reprocessing of fruit-vegetable.
- Development of agriculture is difficult to imagine without existance
of technics. what is done in that direction?
- This problem is sharp in the republic.It is foreseen to invest a
leasing system in 2008 for acquring a technics.The process is already
in force, corresponding works are carried.
