Growing peppers with smarter technology in Armenia

Author: Nina Tsintsadze

Growing peppers at 1,500 metres: new technology is helping Armenia’s Nuvo Vilaj use water more efficiently and harvest for up to nine months a year.

At 1,500 metres above sea level, Armenian greenhouse farm Nuvo Vilaj harvests peppers for up to nine months a year. With support from the EBRD and the European Union (EU), the company has invested in new technology to improve growing conditions, use water more efficiently and grow high-quality produce.

The investment was financed by Ardshinbank through the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line, complemented by an EU-funded grant and dedicated technical support.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
