    WITH SUPPORT OF ORANGE FOUNDATION, NEW AGRICULTURAL PROJECT LAUNCHED IN BERDAVAN VILLAGE, TAVUSH REGION

    12:20 03/07/2013 " ECONOMY

    With the joint efforts of the Orange Foundation and "Shen" charitable
    organization, from now on a new agricultural project has begun in
    Berdavan village of Tavush region. The project uses the consumer
    cooperative model and will allow more than 40 families living in the
    village to get better results joining their efforts and reward all
    participants proportionally to their personal investment.

    To support the newly created "Berdavan" cooperative in the village,
    Orange Foundation has donated agricultural machinery, including a
    tractor, a motor cultivator and tiller, and pesticide sprayers.

    Professional trainings were organized for the inhabitants, as well as
    links were established with food processing companies, to facilitate
    the operation of the new consumer cooperative and the realization
    of the harvest. The water supply system will also be improved. The
    village is traditionally specialized in the culture of the peach,
    and according to estimations, thanks to this donation and the
    implementation of the new agricultural model, farmers will multiply
    by at least 2 times the harvest of next year.

    "The problems of the Armenian villages, especially the ones that are
    located at the very border of the country, are at the center of the
    attention of the Orange Foundation. We have been participating in
    equipping gyms, computer rooms or schools but this is the first time
    we are involved in this kind of initiative. We really want to see soon
    the results and the changes our investment will make in this village.

    We are happy to celebrate today the beginning of a new start in this
    village," said Francis Gelibter, Chairman of the Orange Foundation.

    "This project is the beginning of our big project aiming at stimulating
    high yield agriculture in the remote and vulnerable communities, which
    we are sure will lead to increase of revenue for people and decrease
    of emigration", added Hayk Minasyan, Chairman of Board of the "Shen"
    Charitable NGO.

    Orange Foundation has allotted overall 12,921,000 AMD for the
    realization of the project.
