Peculiar type Spain olives are growing in Meghry

YEREVAN, JUNE 25, ARMENPRESS: The single olive garden occupying 7 hectares located in Meghry, Araksashen, annually yields at least 10 tones harvest. Lehvaz villager  50- year- old Karo Karapetyan , founded a garden in the place of the former dried  garden by  Askolana and  Seveliano 2 type olive trees brought from Spain, Armenpress reports.

 It took four years to the farmer to succeed it. ‘’ First I planted 7590 trees, unfortunately all were frostbitten. I tried again in 2003, this time they became the victim of the hail. It was only in 2010 I got the first harvest ’’Karo  Karapetyn told the visitors.

In the words of the interlocutor annually he gathers 2-30 kg harvest. One type of the olives is very saturated. Studies have found that the pulp of that type contains up to 70 percent olive oil, in the nucleus  it  amounts to 27-33 percent. 

Although the harvest is ecologically pure, Karapetyan faces a problem of selling it. ‘’Currently I sell it one kg by 1200 AMD. In Armenia there is a task to sell it’’ Karapetyan noted.

The olive harvest starts in the mid September in Araksashen , whereas in Spain it takes place two months later.
