    ARMENIA: GREENHOUSE PROJECT WITH DUTCH TECHNOLOGY GETS OFF THE GROUND

    The combination of the Armenian climate and Dutch technologies are
    paving the way for greenhouse development and fresh produce exports
    for Armenia.

    An investment programme is leading to the construction of massive
    greenhouses in the country. Undeveloped land in various regions is
    being made available, over a total area of 2,000 ha.

    The project has been initiated by the Armenian Harvest Promotion
    Centre. They calculate that between 300,000 and 350,000 tonnes of
    produce can be grown in heated greenhouses each year, along with 75,000
    tonnes over 1,500 ha of unheated polycarbonate greenhouses. The bulk
    of the produce is intended for export via Russian trade networks.

    The AHPC communicates with investors who express interest in buying
    land for greenhouse construction and will provide the speculators with
    relevant infrastructure, including utilities and also the provision
    of loans.

    "This is an unprecedented large-scale program which will promote
    the development of the infrastructures, transportation channels,
    and the establishment of powerful cool storage facilities," 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 and private partnership where 49 percent of the shares
    are held by Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Development National
    Center established by the RA Government, and 51 percent is owned by
    the private sector.
