New Date Set For Armenian Fertilizer Production

An Armenian chemical company will finally start producing next month mineral fertilizers that will fully meet domestic agricultural demand, senior government officials in Yerevan said on Tuesday.

Agriculture Minister Sergo Karapetian and Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisian made the announcement after signing a memorandum that commits their ministries to helping the Vanadzor-Khimprom company launch manufacturing operations. But they did not elaborate on that assistance.

The ministers said Vanadzor-Khimprom will manufacture 50,000 tons of fertilizers widely used by Armenian farmers and create around 300 new jobs for that purpose. Armenia imports up to 35,000 tons of them each year.
