With inspiration and great purpose… In three or four years, the rocky area became suitable and fertile for intensive agriculture.
The largest intensive apricot orchard in Armenia was established in Artamet community. Five years ago, they decided, designed the garden and realized the Armenian apricot dream.
1500-2000 apricot trees are planted per hour, instead of 150-200. After three years, 1000 tons will be obtained from the 40-hectare area, and from the 5th year, 2000 tons of Armenian apricots. The future of Armenian apricots is being formed here.
“It was a half-desert, half-rock situation. Nothing is impossible. it is possible to squeeze water from a stone, if there is will and inspiration. Intensive agriculture has great prospects in Armenia. In this way, yields are increased, risks, costs and profitability become controllable. The project is financed by Akba Bank. We are working with Akba partners to make financial modeling more project-based. We also purchased equipment with the financing of AGBA Leasing. The continuous cooperation will deepen and the projects will increase,” says Karen Baghdasaryan, co-owner of the intensive park.
