  • Approximately 110K Flowers Exported From Armenia to Russia In 2004

    APPROXIMATELY 110 THOUSAND FLOWERS EXPORTED FROM ARMENIA TO RUSSIA IN
    2004

    YEREVAN, January 5 (Noyan Tapan). In 2004, 100 thousand lilies and
    about 10 thousand roses were exported from Armenia to Russia (mainly
    Moscow). These flowers were grown within the framework of Florian
    program implemented by gratis funding of the Dutch government.

    According to Koryun Hovakimian, executive director of the Agroproject
    center, it is envisaged to export about 100 thousand lilies and 80-100
    thousand roses this year. In accordance with the Florian program with
    a budget of 700 thousand euros, modern equipment has been installed
    and the experts advice provided to 4 greenhouses located near Yerevan
    in order to organize growing flowers there. Unlike the Dutch roses and
    lilies that are sold for 1.5-2 euros apiece on the Russian market, the
    Armenian roses and especially lilies cost 2-2.5 apiece. According to
    K. Hovakimian, this is conditioned by these roses' high quality, which
    is ensured by using the modern Dutch technology and bulbs imported
    from the Netherlands, as well as thanks to most favorable climatic
    conditions in Armenia.
