Accompanied by the RA Minister of Agriculture, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited Alishan Ltd. of Masis town to get acquainted with the activities and the achievements of this seven-year-old fruit and vegetable processing company. Tigran Sargsyan took the opportunity to familiarize himself with the advanced technology using greenhouse unit which was founded earlier this year.
By noting that agriculture and farm produce processing are deemed as economic priorities in Armenia, the Prime Minister emphasized that the Operative Staff follows closely any development-oriented undertaking and proposal in this field to ensure that State support is provided to this sector. Among the challenges faced by the Company, Tigran Sargsyan singled out two key problems: fiscal liabilities and replenishment of cash resources. The head of government assured that both of these issues will be discussed on the part of the Operative Staff.
“Thirdly, nationwide outreach should be ensured for the greenhouse unit’s successful experience. The enterprise is prepared to back both the private sector and the State in disseminating the know-how available. Therefore, I think this entity may enjoy good development opportunities in Armenia,” the Prime Minister has said.
