YEREVAN, September 19. /ARKA/. Today measures are undertaken on the
development and expansion of wine-making in Armenia, said Armenian
Agriculture Minister Sergo Karapatyan in the 7th international forum
Fruitfull Armenia.
The sphere of agriculture is priority for Armenia which allowed to
implement a number of favorable changes, particularly in the sphere
of viticulture and wine-making.
He welcomed the establishment of the Union of Cognac Producers saying
that, unfortunately, not all the producers are included in the union.
Agreement on the establishment of the Union was signed on December
15, 2010. Twelve companies, including Yerevan Cognac factory,
Cognac-Wine-Vodka Factory "Ararat", the company "Artashat-Vincon",
the company "Great valley", Avshar Wine factory, wine-vodka house
"Shahnazaryan, Stepanakert Cognac Factory, Ararat Cognac Factory,
Wine-Vodka Factory "Tavinco", cognac factory "Aragak", the company
"Vedi Alco" and "MAP" are included in the union.
Currently there are more than 50 wine producers in the Armenian market
but their production has no demand in the international market yet.
"Introduction of the process of grape-growing and wine production
of new technologies, particularly anti-hail technologies, and
establishment of new and modern grape fields is very important", said
Karapetyan. Establishment of cooling cameras in the airport was also
very important, for which I express my gratitude to Mr. Eurnekyan
(owner of "Armenia-International Airports - concessionaire of
"Zvartnots" airport")", he said.
Permanent Coordinator of UN in Armenia Dafina Gercheva mentioned the
positive results of the reforms in agriculture of Armenia.
"We also support the development of agriculture and are supporters
of encouragement and funding of specially vulnerable farms", she said.
According to the data of National Statistic Service of Armenia, in
January-May 2011 over 4.8 million liters of famous Armenian cognac was
produced which is by 5.9% more than the indicator of the same period
of 2010. Wine production increased by 15.7% making 2.6 million liters.
The main topic of the 7th international forum Fruitfull Armenia this
year became establishment of special places for harvest storage for
the farmers, particularly using specialized cooling cameras, as well
as the problem of wine-making and grape-growing in Armenia.
