“500 tons of potato was exported to Iran last year. Export to Georgia is also possible,” he told a news conference in Yerevan. “I hope the tendency will be continued into the next year.”

Mr. Berberyan emphasized the necessity of cost reduction plan on the way to winning new markets, noting that recent potato harvest was increased through seed and fertilizer quality improvement. “Over the last 7 years potato crops grew from 8-10 tons to 15 tons per hectare,” he said.
