The project idea stems from the fact that agriculture is one of the fast-growing sectors of the Turkey’s economy that provides employment for 66 percent of the population, and is increasingly based on the latest technological know-how. There is a clear need for the Armenian agriculture entities and farmers to learn advanced practices from Turkey, like the elements of quality enhancement of products, as well as new technology and innovation opportunities. The project is using this opportunity to promote mutually beneficial economic partnerships and market linkages between Armenia- and Turkey-based businesses and non-governmental organizations in the dried fruits, dairy processing and green house sectors.
