There are 1.2 mln ha of pastoral lands in Armenia and only 15-20% of
them are used, Agriculture Minister Sergo Karapetyan said today over
discussion of the programme on agriculture resources management and
competition.
He also added that many pastoral lands are not used as the
infrastructure was broken, In particular, there no irrigation system,
roads were ruined and there are no necessary conditions for people to
live there. The above mentioned programme foresees to create normal
conditions for people and set infrastructures in rural districts. The
minister said that the programme is directed to cattle breeding
development, increasing of milk yield and meat production, which will
result in growing of village residents' income.
The programme is called also to stimulate farm amalgamation, their
unification in corporative for more effective management of pastoral
lands, Karapetyan said and added that unification in corporative will
not lead to growth of the tax burden. Karapetyan explained that at
present Agriculture Ministry has been preparing a draft law according
to which these cooperatives will not pay VAT.
