Garnik Danielyan, a representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun's Regional Committee of the Republic of Armenia, Garnik Danielyanheld parallelsState subsidies for 1 kg of 1 kg of grape procured in Armenia and Georgia, noting.
"The government will subsidize the 1 kg of grapes in Georgia for 568 drams, and for the equivalent of an equivalent grapes in Armenia will be provided with 30 drams subsidy.
The Prime Minister of Georgia emphasizing the viticulture and winemaking as a branch of the economy, the headquarters of coordination of the grape harvest of this year, about 200-250 thousand tons, works around the clock.
For comparison, additional 30 drams are allocated for more than 5,000 tons of grape suppliers in Armenia, in case of 10,000 tons of grapes, 50 AMD of grape price subsidies. This is in the case when only a poor quality and damaged grape cost in Georgia is 1 lari (142 drams).
Touching upon the problems of viticulture in Armenia many times, I have said that there is no strategy developed by the state to save this branch of the economy.
Due to the recent export issues, brandy production has decreased, which, of course, has a negative impact on viticulture and brandy.
Grapes also note that companies often promise to procure the grapes at a higher price, but a lower price is offered ahead of signing a contract. The relevant authorities must have a clear place to do.
For comparison, if in 2007, when the cost of grapes was 75 drams, procurement was carried out for 150-160 drams, this year, when the cost is 110-125 drams, the procurement is carried out for 140-150 drams.
These figures best represent the condition of the captain in the field of viticulture.
Instead of interesting the interests of economic entities, the Ministry of Agriculture is interested in a campaign against Mount Ararat. "We have a asphalt."
One thing is obvious. It is not attractive to engage in viticulture in a country associated with wine and brandy.
According to official data, about 97 million drams have been allocated to repair the hall of the municipality. Can you imagine how many tons of grapes would subsidize with these and other unclaimed money? "
