It is planned to expand greenhouse economy. “Last year we installed the first Dutch technologies, it gave perfect results and the company decided to build several other greenhouse farms. It is planned to finish those works at the end of the year,” mentioned the director of the company, reports “Armenpress”.

Mkrtchyan clarified that mainly tomato will be grown in the greenhouses. “We have preliminary arrangements with Russian importers and according to those arrangements at the end of November or in the beginning of December we will begin the export process,” said Mkrtchyan adding that it is planned to export annually around 6,000 tones of vegetables to Russia and other CIS member countries.
