Visit to cold storages in Ashtarak

On 13.10.2017 the members of Organic Fruit Producers Cooperative who are involved in the project "Expansion of Organic Fruit Production Through Upgrading the Organic Orchard Management and Streamlining Horticulturist Farmers into Organic Agriculture Cooperative" implemented with the support of the OASI Project visited two cold storages in Ashtarak, Aragatsotn province, to get acquainted with advanced expertise on post-harvest management of fruits. The purpose of this visit was also to create supplier-buyer links and/or experience sharing for constructing similar cold storages by our beneficiaries. There are large and small scale facilities in Ashtarak region and the cooperative members had chance to see difference between them. In both cold storages an experienced technologist in the field, Gagik Petrosyan, presented the peculiarities of preserving various fruits in the cold storages.
