"This festival is the outcome of farmers' work. Our partners have grown this harvest, and today everyone is proud of the result of the joint work. While creating the bank, the main task was to assist the Armenian farmers, and what is very important, today we support them not only through financing, but also offer innovative solutions and contribute to the technological integration in agriculture, said the head of ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK branch in Lori Ara Davtyan.
