YEREVAN. - By way of protection networks, the harvest can be saved
from hail for a price of $5,000 per hectare.
Armen Chilingaryan, United Nations Development Programme Disaster Risk
Reduction (UNDP DRR) project manager, told the aforesaid toArmenian
News-NEWS.am.
Along the lines of the DRR, such protection networks were installed in
three villages in Armenia.
`We received pretty impressive results in Armenia's northeast. The
reason is that the network protects not solely from hail, but also
from the intense wind. The risk is significantly reduced,'
Chilingaryan explained.
He noted that a $5,000-worth network will protect for eight to fifteen years.
`This is a guaranteed time period, but the networks will serve longer.
Unfortunately, the providing of loans consistent with crop growth is
not yet developed in Armenia,' Armen Chilingaryan added.
