YEREVAN, March 24. /ARKA/. Total uncultivated agricultural land in
Armenia is 115 thousand ha, said Bagrat Sargsyan, Deputy of Armenian
Parliament from opposition party "Dashnaktsutyun", member of standing
committee on agricultural and nature protection issues. "Currently
Armenia processes about 300-305 thousand ha of land, but the total
territory is about 420 thousand ha. Unprocessed land makes 110 thousand
ha", he said during the press-conference on Wednesday. The main reason
of not processing the land by people is fragmentation of the land into
small land plots. Such conditions result in unprofitable processing
of agricultural land. In Armenia agricultural land is divided into
1.2 million land plots and the total number of agricultural farms is
339.2 thousand. "Such a division into land plots makes difficult to
work efficiently and intensive in the farms", said Sargsyan.
