YEREVAN, May 13, /ARKA/. The French-owned Yerevan Brandy Company
(YBC) will conduct three meetings with provincial governors, rural
community heads and wine growers on May 17, 18 and 20 to discuss last
year's grape procurements and outline this year's strategy.
The company said in a press release it is signing new contracts now
with grape growers because old contracts expired in 2010. The company
began signing contracts with grape growers from 2011 to work with
farmers throughout the year and help them solve their current problems.
The press release says also the YBC completed distillation of wine
material made of 28.525 tons of grapes bought from farmers last year.
Together with three branches in Aigavan, Berd and Armavir the YBC
was said to have distilled 20.6 million liters of wine material to
receive 3.4 million liters of brandy spirit that will be used to make
ArArAt brandies.
The YBC was established in 1887 and was modernized in 1953. In June
1998, the company was privatized by French Pernod Ricard, the world's
second leading supplier of high-class spirits and wine brands at $30
million.
