NKR started to produce sunflower oil on the local raw materials. This was reported by the owner of the sunflower oil product factory "Reypsid" LLC Norayr Stepanyan, noting that in 2013, the company plans to produce 700 - 750 tons of sunflower oil. The designed capacity of the factory is 1 thousand tons per year only for sunflower oil. The plant is located in the village Tagavard, of NKR Martuni region and it uses entirely only local raw materials.
Oil is produced without refining and deodorization. "The equipment for this we do not have yet. Therefore the marketable condition of it may not be exactly the one to which consumers are now accustomed to. But we don’t stop to watching the quality. Recently it has passed another test by the National Institute of Standards of RA ", - said Stepanyan.
