PanARMENIAN.Net - Recent snowfalls in low lying regions of Armenia might damage drupe trees, RA Deputy Minister of Agriculture Samvel Galstyan told a news conference on Wednesday.



According to Deputy Minister, the strongest frosts were registered in Tavush region, Vayots Dzor, Aragatsotn, Kotayk, where the temperature went below -4 -10 oC



According to Galstyan, temperature in Ararat valley didn't go below 0, and no serious issues were registered there. "I believe we won't have serious losses and will be able to keep the market and preserve the existing price policy," Sargsyan said.
