Minister: Starting next year, Armenia will launch a program for  creating a cadastre of shoots, which will allow inventorying all  grape varieties

ArmInfo. Registered in the Armenian city of Echmiadzin, LLC "Argomanagement", engaged in the production of wine, by the regulations to date, purchased from  farmers 13 tons of grapes. Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of  Armenia Artur Khachatryan was informed about it during the visit to  the enterprise by the director of the LLC Aram Mashanyan.

According to the press service of the RA Ministry of Agriculture, the  company intends to purchase 20 tons of amber bunches at a price of  240-250 AMD per kilogram. All products are purchased in the  Echmiadzin region. In the current year, LLC for the first time  exported its products, so far only to the Russian Federation. In  2018, the company also established its own gardens with drip  irrigation, but neighboring unprocessed agricultural lands hinder  their effective use. "When you create wine, you not only produce it,  but at every stage you form its history," Aram Mashanyan said.

Arthur Khachatryan, stressing the importance of restoring wine  traditions, noted that the reduction of unprocessed land is one of  the priorities of the Armenian government. He said that next year  will start the program for creating a cadastre of sprouts, which will  allow inventorying all sprouts and grape varieties.  This, according  to the head of the department, will provide an opportunity to improve  the quality of winemaking.
