irrigation and fertilization problems of the territory. The harvest
mainly is exported to United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and other
countries of Persian Gulf," mentioned Eganyan adding that part of
berries is sold in Armenian market. The average strawberry yield
is 45-50 tones from one hectare and raspberry - 10 tones from one
hectare. He clarified that the strawberry is grown above the ground
in order to exclude infection with land deceases.
He also informed about exporting berries to Russia. The businessman

and berry export.
