  • EU 1.5mil Agro program starts with Duth Participation in June 2005

    STARTING FROM JUNE, PROGRAM WITH 1.5 MILLION EUROS' BUGDET TO BE
    IMPLEMENTED IN AGRICULTURAL SPHERE OF ARMENIA WITH FINANCIAL
    PARTICIPATION OF NETHERLANDS

    YEREVAN, January 5 (Noyan Tapan). By the Dutch government's "Eastern
    European and Central Asian Countires Cooperation and Marketing
    Program" (PSOM), it is envisaged to start from June the implementation
    of a 2-year program with a budget of about 1.5 million euros in
    Armenia's agricultural sphere. According to Koryun Hovakimian,
    executive director of the Armenian-Dutch Agroproject center, by late
    March the Armenian side will have submitted to the Dutch government
    3-4 programs, one of which will be selected and implemented. According
    to K. Hovakimian, by one of the programs developed, it is proposed to
    organize production of mushrooms, while by another - that of soya
    beans, which will be subsequently used in butter and fodder production.

    Programs on manufacturing metallic tins for tinned products, as well
    as on establishing the Agroservice center in Lori marz have been
    developed as well. The financial participation of the Dutch government
    in the program will make 50%, whereas the other half will be invested
    by the Armenian company involved in the program or by its partner - a
    Dutch company. In recent years 7 programs were implemented in Armenia
    with funds of the government of the Netherlands. In particular, a
    plant for milk procession and production of the Dutch cheese was built
    in Tashir, a hydroponic greenhouse - in the village of Darakert
    (Ararat marz), an up-to-date potato warehouse with a capacity of 1,500
    tons - in Shirak marz, as well as one of the workshops of the mixed
    fodder plant in Yerevan was repaired.
