YEREVAN, October 1. / ARKA /. The Center for Promotion of Armenian
Agricultural Products said today it will build heated greenhouses
on a total area of 50 hectares near Noragavit community in a Yerevan
outskirt. The project, which is part of a broader program to develop
greenhouses, was earlier approved by the government. The construction
is expected to be over before 2015.
The program is designed for construction of greenhouses on the total
area of 500 hectares with involvement of private sector. The Center
for Promotion of Armenian Agricultural Products is now negotiating
with several foreign companies manufacturing greenhouses to introduce
their effective technologies here and loaning possibilities.
The company said Brice Richel, a senior official from French Richel
Group, a greenhouse producer, was in Armenia on September 25-26 at
the invitation of the Center for Promotion of Armenian Agricultural
Products and presented to investors the company's greenhouses and
answered their questions concerning receiving loans from French banks.
The discussions resulted in an agreement on acquisition of RICHEL
GROUP's greenhouses on loans to be issued by French banks at 5 percent
interest rate at French company COFACE's guarantee.
Today there are about 1000 greenhouses in Armenia which occupy some
130 hectares. The majority are greenhouses on several hundreds square
meters. Several dozens of farmers are united in the Association of
Greenhouses.
