Today marks the official start of the grape procurement season
in Armenia.
Though Companies are ready to receive an unlimited quantity of harvest
this year, villagers still complain about the terms of the contracts
which they earlier signed with procurers.
Speaking to Tert.am, a gardener from the village Kaghtsrashen (Ararat
region), Aram Khachatryan, said the contracts with some of them were
never renewed despite having expired about two or three years ago. "I
had a contract with the Yerevan Brandy Company, but the factory
refused to sign a new contract this year, arguing that there is a
shortage of the necessary variety of grape this year," he said.
The Proshyan Brandy Factory confirmed the earlier report that companies
are willing to receive grape in unlimited quantity. A source at the
company said they started the procurement weeks ago, adding that they
will receive the harvest starting from Tuesday.
The prices will be determined depending on the quantity of grapes. The
minimal prices will be within the range of 140-150 Drams ($0.34 -
$0.36) per kilogram.
Areni Wine Factory's Director Rafik Simonyan told our correspondent
that they are expected to start the procurement in October.
"The total quantity of the harvest will be more compared to last year.
The procurement price will be the same - 200-220 Drams ($0.48-$0.53),"
he said, adding that the areni grape, which the company purchases,
is a relatively expensive variety.
