Hail is considered the number-one enemy of viticulture for several
villages of Armenia's Tavush Region.
`Our village has always suffered from hail; natural disasters are
unpredictable,' Aygehovit village prefect Levon Grigoryan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am, and added that the village has a population of
3,700, its main employment is agriculture and cattle breeding, and the
village has 103 hectares of vineyards.
`First and foremost we need to develop agriculture. It is impossible
for everyone in the village to be involved in agriculture, but it
should be done so that every inch of land is developed,' said
Grigoryan.
He informed that virtually all of the village gardens will be
irrigated with the help of the `Hayastan' All-Armenian Fund, and all
that remains is the official opening of the irrigation system.
`We cannot solve problems without artificial irrigation,' noted Levon Grigoryan.
And Berd branch of the Brandy Factory likewise is providing
considerable assistance to Aygehovit village. The Factory gives
chemical agents and syringe equipment to the villagers every year, so
they may receive normal harvest in fall and sell it to the Factory.
The village head assured they are expecting a rich grape harvest this
year, if, of course, hail does not destroy it.
