YEREVAN, March 22. /ARKA/. Armenian greenhouse farms have now bigger opportunities to sell their products in Russia, Vazgen Safaryan, the head of the Union of Domestic Commodity Producers, said today.
According to him, the Russian ban on imports of Turkish products has opened new opportunities for the sale of Armenian agricultural products in Russia.
Safaryan urged the government to increase the assistance to farmers and speed up the adoption of a government program for development of greenhouse farming.
According to him, the government should also provide certain benefits to greenhouse farms for the use of electricity and irrigation water.
"Given the adverse climatic conditions, which often cause huge damages to crops, greenhouse farming will not only secure production and exports of agricultural products, but will also significantly improve the economic condition of the villagers," said Safaryan.
According to the National Statistical Service of Armenia, the agricultural output in 2015 amounted to 1.002.2 trillion drams, an increase of 11.7% from 2014.-0-
