Armine Muradyan is one of these women. Her business plan was related to the fisheries sector. “We had the lake, but we did not have fish. We decided to breed different species of fish. And now have a lake, and fish”, – she smiles.

The basis for joint activities of women in the active group was put through the “Green Trail” NGO. Women started not only cultivating organic herbs, but also a variety of non-traditional crops, broccoli, cape gooseberry, various types of cabbage, asparagus…
