SUGAR REFINERY IN SEVAN TO DOUBLE OUTPUT
SEVAN, MARCH 14, ARMENPRESS: A sugar-refinery in the town of Sevan
plans to increase the daily output of sugar to 25 tons by the end of
this year. Refinery’s director Armen Arakelian told Armenpress it
produces now around 12 tons of sugar daily. In 2003 its daily output
was only 5 tons.
However, its output meets only 4 percent of domestic demand. For
the time being the plant imports raw material, but it hopes that
farmers in the province would shift to growing sugar-beet soon. The
plant began working in 2003 and employs now 83 people.
