In the village Shaghat of Sisian region the sowing areas of grain
annually curtail. The peasants face such a problem because of fuel
increase and difficulties connected with the realization of local
products. The inhabitants of Shaghat have realized only 50 – 60
hectares autumn sowing instead of the 350 hectares of the previous
year and they will supply this lack with the spring sowing. Now it
is time for spring sowing but the peasants complain that they are
not ready for sowing.
The agricultural work is also lingered by the fact that the village
is adjacent to the borderline. It has 1030 hectares lands 230 hectares
of which is not cultivated because of the above – mentioned fact.
About 1000 hectares pasture and meadow lands are not available for
usage either.
According to the data of the previous year average harvest per 1
hectare grain sowing area was 12g. The Community Chief Hovhannes
Arzumanyan claims that the low index of the crop yield is determined by
a number of factors, such as the poor quality seed, unfavorable weather
conditions, the wrong land cultivation and the lack of technical
means. The harvesting is postponed because of the combine absence.
There are 80 hectares potato sowing areas in the village. On this
score, they counter the problem of realization and have to sell their
product with 50 – 70 AMD.
Soon the village will have milk purveyance service in the initiative
of “Ashtarak milk” company which will contribute to the problem
of realization.
