The combination of Armenian climate conditions and Dutch
state-of-the-art technologies create excellent preconditions
for developing greenhouses and entering a foreign market. These
preconditions have laid the ground for the launch of an investment
program on the establishment of massive greenhouses in Armenia. For
this purpose, undeveloped lands will be allocated in various regions
of the Republic with a total area of 2 000 hectares.
The Armenian Harvest Promotion Centre (AHPC) CJSC has initiated the
program, according to the estimations of which, approximately 300 000
- 350 000 tons of vegetable can be grown annually in 500 ha heated
greenhouses, and 75 000 tons ~V in 1500 ha unheated polycarbonate
greenhouses mainly for the purpose of supplying vegetable to Russian
trade networks all year round.
In the beginning of May, the RA Government has approved the proposal
of the Yerevan Municipality to seize 63 ha land in the vicinity
of Noragavit district. The highly profitable program will soon be
implemented in this area during the upcoming months. Foreign advanced
technologies will allow the crops~R average productivity to reach
60-70 kg / m2 here.
The AHPC conducts negotiations with the investors who have expressed
interest in buying land areas for the purpose of constructing
greenhouses. The program initiators will provide the investors with
infrastructures supplying thermal and electric energy, gas and water,
as well as will assist in receiving loans.
~SThis is an unprecedented large-scale program which will promote
the development of the infrastructures, transportation channels, as
well as the establishment of powerful cool storage facilities. After
the program on the construction of greenhouses in the vicinity of
Noragavit district, 8-10 greenhouse zones will be established in
different regions of the Republic with a total area of 500 hectares,
and, in the meantime, unheated polyethylene greenhouses will be
constructed in 1500 ha land area,~T said Aleksan Arakelyan, the
Investment Director at the Armenian Harvest Promotion Centre CJSC.
According to his estimations, the first crop will be harvested in 2013.
The Armenian Harvest Promotion Centre CJSC was established in
2011. It is a public-private partnership where 49% of the shares
are held by Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Development National
Center established by the RA Government, and the rest 51% is owned
by private sector.
