On August 5, 2022, Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) Board Chairman  Nikolay Podguzov, Armenia's Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan and  Director of the Yeremyan Farm CJSC David Yeremyan signed a memorandum  of cooperation to construct a farm designed for 1,200 head of cattle  and 580 sows. 

The farms will meet all international standards and produce up to 700  tons of high-quality pork, with a daily output of milk up to 30 tons. 

The EBD's share in funding the project is $25mln, with Armenia's  government to subsidize investment expenditure.
