It is very promising to become a new direction in the production of domestic agricultural products. We are talking about berries and rosehips. In Lorian Marza, these crops in the near future can even squeeze the traditional cereals and potatoes in the near future. In one of the local villages — Gobarz — the rosehip point began to act. The item was opened on the initiative of the Olders of the village of Zorik Lalazaryan. The reason is that the demand for rose hips today is very increased. The possibilities of its exports to Russia and other countries are considered. — A very good and promising idea, ”says the deputy of the National Assembly of the RA, a native of the village of Vardablur Loria Marza Gulzadyan. — For a true worker, this is just a find: rose hips are taken 100 drams per kilogram, and neither wheat nor potatoes provide such profitability. The farmer should not endlessly wait for help from the state or from donors, but should first count on his own forces.
In this sense, the multidisciplinality of farms allows less to depend on the vagaries of the weather and maintain profitability. And here rosehip is the best suited. According to Mr. Gulzadyan, it makes sense to think about the removal of a certain part of the agricultural vehicle (even arable land) under the rosehip or, say, blackberry, because the extensive development of potato breeding and the cultivation of grains has already reached its limit, which the farmers themselves also feel. For example, overproduction is already observed according to potatoes. — Any constructive idea deserves attention, ”said Volodya Buniatyan, head of the agricultural and nature protection of the regional administration. — Indeed, for the agriculture of Armenia, the so -called transition period after privatization is already approaching its completion.
In the agrarian sector, new relationships are gradually forming, there is an enlargement of land allotments. Now initiative people come to the fore who are ready to invest, purchasing or renting land for the development of agricultural production. This year, in such production, Lorian Marz achieved good results. So, the gross crown harvest was 24.5 thousand. tons with an average yield of 21 centners per hectare. In some rural communities, this indicator is significantly surpassed. For example, the guys on average gathered 27 centners per hectare in Mets, 28.2 in Chopan, 30 in Yagdan, and in Kurtan — as much as 50.5. Potatoes were well ugly; From 280 to 340 centners per hectare received in the Stepanavan and Spitat regions. More than 100 thousand. T hay, 8.5 thousand. T straw, 350 tons. According to January-September 2004., In Marza, all agricultural development indicators were exceeded compared to the same period of the previous year (with the exception of the fruits: spring frosts affected). Among the promising areas, poultry farming, fish farming and beekeeping are considered — here Lori’s positions are quite stable in the domestic market, it is also possible to successfully export. Now, apparently, in the agricultural structure of Marza, the share of rosehips will increase significantly. It is ready to accept it not only from local residents, but also from representatives of other regions of the republic.
