Rector of the Agrarian State University of Armenia (ASUA) Arshaluys
Tarverdyan said significant achievements were recorded in Armenia's
agricultural food system over the past several years, securing 25-30%
of the country's GDP.
Around 45% of the country's labor force is employed in agriculture,
said Tarverdyan during an event dedicated to the 80th anniversary of
the SAUA.
"Due to support of the Armenian President, many problems of the field
are being solved, for example, rehabilitation of seed growing and
irrigation system," he said, pointing to small size of enterprises
and undeveloped infrastructures as basic problems hampering the
development of agriculture in Armenia.
A museum of ASUA history was opened on the occasion of the University's
anniversary.
The Agrarian State University of Armenia, one of the biggest higher
educational and scientific centers, was founded in 1994 on the basis
of the Armenian Agricultural and Yerevan Zootechnical and Veterinary
Institutes. The University has a highly qualified professorial and
pedagogical staff of 627 lecturers, 72 Doctors of Sciences and 290
Candidates of Sciences. Around 10,000 students are enrolled.
