Chairman of the Agrarian Peasant Union of Armenia (APUA) Hrachya Berberyan said that weather conditions in 2011 are favorable for Armenia’s agriculture compared to last year, when 14.5% drop was recorded in the field.

Prices for fruits should be lower this year, depending on other factors as well, Berberyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Berberyan noted that prices for tomato will be twice cheaper in 2011 in Armenia compared to 2010, as tomato seeds for 500ha were distributed by APUA among farmers.

According to him, prices for cucumber will also decrease in 2011, due to the same reason.
