Vicinity of Noragavit District of Yerevan

The total area of the greenhouse zone in Yerevan for the first stage of the program is approximately 69 ha, where we’re planning to construct greenhouses in compliance with the modern construction and technology solutions. The total area for the greenhouses greenhous will be 50-53 ha, the rest of the area will serve for the creation of commonly used outer roads and the greenhouses’ inner paths,, as well as for engineering infrastructures.

The following main outcomes are expected from the implementation of the 1st stage of the Yerevan greenhouse zone’s program: 1.

The program assumes producing mainly vegetables in the greenhouses the annual gross

volumes of which will constitute 30 000-40 000 000 tones, which means 3-44 % increase in the country’s production volumes under the program; program 2.

With respect to increasing increas the export volumes and improving the country’s balance of

payments, the zone is going to have much more influence. At least the ¾ of the mentioned production volumes is going to be exported, which means from nine to thirteen-fold thirteen increase in the vegetable export volumes as compared with the last 5 years' average; average 3.

The implementation of the present program will promote the formation of a new cluster. cluster

This new cluster for vegetable production and export will give new impetus to the development of a whole new logistic chain ranging from cool storage of vegetables, sorting, packaging and quality assessment till building respective capacities for shipping and export-sales. sales. It will obviously put forward issues and orders for the country's educational, education scientific and research, selection- seed farming, material science and other institutions; institutions 4.

The implementation of this zone's program will lay a foundation for the development of the

“Umbrella brand” for the Armenian vegetables. It will later serve small and medium farms also.

In case of meeting the established requirements, they will be given the opportunity to organize export of small batches of products; products 5.

Mitigation of the he seasonal fluctuations of the crop product prices in domestic market and

significant reduction in vegetable import volumes; volumes

6.

Ensuring more effective use of the land areas in the vicinity of Noragavit district of Yerevan;

7.

Creation of approximately imately 1500-2000 1500 new workplaces in the whole value chain ranging from

production till realization, 800-1000 800 of which will be assigned for working just inside the greenhouses; 8.

Only within the framework of that stage of the program it is assumed to attract

approximately 35-40 40 billion AMD investment in the country’s agriculture sector, which, in its turn, means creating additional constructionconstruction and installment-related related workplaces for the greenhouse zone’s construction, only within the upcoming 2-3 2 years; 9.

Additional community ommunity budget receipts will be ensured from land alienation value and, later

on, from property tax payments; payments 10.

Preconditions will be created and experience will be gained in order to develop similar zones

in the regions of the country.

Based on the practical results of the constructed greenhouses and on the availability of the required resources, the feasibility and expediency to construct 63-67 63 67 more ha of greenhouses in the area of approximately 87 ha in the above mentioned zone for the second stage of the program will be discussed.

The capacities built by the AHPC and the experience gained will also be invested in the construction of 500 ha heated and 1500-2000 1500 2000 ha unheated highly effective state-of-the-art state greenhouses in 6-7 greenhouse zones located in different regions of the country.
