LEBANESE COMPANY TO ESTABLISH PECAN NUT ORCHARDS IN ARMENIA
YEREVAN, March 17. / ARKA /. Lebanese Gardenia Lebniz Farms is
establishing pecan orchards in Kotayk region to grow the American
variety of the fruit, the agricultural ministry said today.
The news came following a meeting of Armenian agriculture minister
Sergo Karapetyan with Lebanese ambassador to Armenia, Jean Makaron,
head of Gardenia Lebniz Farms Nicola Abu Faisal and a representative
of the same company Jamil Abdeim.
The Lebanese company has already chosen 20 hectares of land in Yeghvard
and is making preparatory work for planting the first pecan trees
brought from the U.S. state of California.
Representatives of the company said that some products of the company -
olives, spices and grains, will be sold in Armenian stores soon. In
his turn Sergo Karapetyan promised to cooperate fully with the
Lebanese company. The Lebanese company sells its products to more
than 40 countries.
Related to the walnut, pecans are native to America. Sweet and rich,
the pecan's distinct flavor and texture is the result of its high
levels of monosaturated oil - in fact, it is the fattiest of all nuts.
It goes well in both savory and sweet dishes.. Pecan trees grow also
in the Crimea, Central Asia and the Caucasus. -0-
