This year will be beneficial for agriculture - Hrach Berberyan.

Armenia’s agricultural vegetation period is delaying by approximately twenty days, as compared with the previous year, but this is beneficial for agriculture, Chairman of Agrarian Peasant Union of Armenia Hrach Berberyan stated during a press conference on Wednesday.

“Since the winter is prolonging, we will not have frostbite in April. We can evade the apricot frostbite,” Berberyan said.

In his words, this year the apricots will be collected toward late June, instead of mid-June. The garden vegetables will be gathered about twenty days later than usual, and the potatoes will be harvested in June, instead of May.

But, as per Hrach Berberyan, some problems might come about solely with respect to spring sowing.
