No more hope for crops
Last evening's heavy hail damaged the harvest fields in Jrap and Haykadzor communities, particularly Aghin village of Shirak province.
In half an hour, the hail damaged the wheat fields and vegetable gardens in Jrap community. There are no anti-hail stations in Jrap.
"The community suffered a 100 percent damage. We don't have anti-hail stations. I don't know what the government is thinking about this. We pay 150,000 drams for 1 hectare of wheat without fertilizers. Can you imagine how much damage we have suffered?" says one villager.
The hail also damaged fruit trees in Aghin village as well. Jrap residents say they no longer have hope for crops.
After the hail, villagers visited the fields and came to the conclusion that restoration was no longer possible.
