Hrach Berberyan, head of the Agrarian-Peasant Union, believes that this year was not a successful year for potato production, and he connects this with hot weather. "We lack harvest. Potato price is a bit higher than usual." According to the specialist, in the near future the price will reach 250 to 300 drams.
In order not to have a lack of potatoes again in the coming year, the Agrarian Peasant Union is now cooperating with European partners to import potato seedlings. Although, according to Hrach Berberian, there was lack of potatoes in Europe this year as well due to the hot weather.
Berberyan also mentioned that in the coming year a partnership with the Netherlands is expected. Farmers of the union, which is engaged in 65% of potato production in the country, will leave for Holland training.
