Producer Group and Value Chain Development, ENPARD

Within the project Producer Group and Value Chain Development by ENPARD (European Neighborhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development) technical assistance funded by EU, BSC supported agricultural cooperatives to promote production of buckwheat, berries and other non-traditional crops.

By implementing such projects, BSC contributes to the transition of the Armenian traditional agriculture to an industrial one and the development of agriculture based on business grounds that provides farmers from different regions of Armenia with the opportunity to earn their living and to contribute to the increased income of the farm households by creating new jobs.
