Within the framework of regional visit, the Minister of Agriculture visited also Aragatsotn to call for founding intensive gardens with drip irrigation under anti-hail nets.
The farmer who had apple, apricot and cherry fields on 35 ha, was proud of one year harvest of the young trees. The initial big expenses will be covered. At the meeting with the villagers Ignati Arakelyan advised to start thinking about ordering net-wire-pipes from the companies that import those technologies to Armenia, so during the spring planting they will be ready to found new gardens.
“This type of fields is very advantageous, you just have to start the work. The state will support the gardeners financially,” said Ignati Arakelyan.
