    YERVAN

    YEREVAN, July 3. /ARKA/. Armenian ministries of agriculture and energy
    and natural resources signed today a memorandum of understanding to
    help start production of fertilizers at Vanadzor-Khimprom chemical
    plant in August.

    Speaking to reporters after the signing ceremony agricultural
    minister, Sergo Karapetian, said both ministries will show support
    for the plant in Armenia's third largest town to resume production
    of chemical fertilizers.

    "Today we import all fertilizers used by our farmers. This is why it
    is very important for us to organize a local production of chemical
    fertilizers," Karapetian said.

    The minister said in the first phase the plant will produce nitric
    fertilizers - carbamide and ammonium sulphate, and in the future it
    may start producing also phosphate fertilizers. The minister said
    that plant has the capacity to produce up to 25,000 tons of carbamide
    and ammonium sulphate per year. The local demand for this type of
    fertilizers is 35,000 tons, he said.

    According to Karapetian, Armenian fertilizers will cost significantly
    cheaper, but he refrained fr om specifying.

    According to the ministry of agriculture, Armenia's agricultural
    sector uses today about 40 thousand of all types of fertilizers,
    including nitric, potassium and phosphorus.

    Vanadzor Kimprom, which is part of Prometey -Khimprom company, was
    commissioned in 2005 after a long idle period. The plant is owned by
    a British-registered Russian company Roding International Lim ited.
