Now, things have changed, for already three years the Animal Market in Syunik region is offering its services in one of the most remote areas of Armenia. Established in 2015 the Animal Market aims to stimulate the cattle trade by bringing various buyers and sellers into one organized marketplace. By doing so it provides favorable conditions for both parties in order to make successful business deals in the field of livestock trade. In other words, the Animal Market contributes to the improvement of the dialog between the two parties.

Nowadays, an ordinary farmer benefits from this multifunctional structure as it is, due to the wide variety of support services that it offers on a daily basis. The visitor of the Animal Market can easily get assistance in the cattle transportation service matters, get a good use of trade-outlet/showroom for agro inputs and machinery, business support, etc.

Surrounded by stunning landscapes of the Armenian mountains, the Animal Market is situated in Khot village on the way to the Tatev Monastery in Syunik region. It is nearly 200 km away from the capital, Yerevan, 83 km from the regional center, Kapan.

The location of the Animal Market plays a crucial role in providing possibly one of the most important services of the establishment. Farmers attending the trainings organized by the Animal Market are being exposed to new, game changing technics in cattle breeding, and in farming in general. Demo-farming training has proven to be highly effective.

As an outcome of the mentioned trainings, many farmers take the initiative of enlarging their farms, that is to say the number of their livestock. The assistance from the Animal Market in this sphere is also noticeable, as most of the time the farmers are not able to manage the costs of buying new cattle on their own, taking into account the harsh conditions of getting a loan from a bank. The Animal Market facilitates the deals between the buyers and the sellers in a favorable manner for the both sides.

The existing constraints in the animal husbandry are a tangible obstacle for the development of farming in the region. The Animal Market aims to address specifically these types of issues through its services, contributing to the advancement and improvement of the cattle breeds.

Aside from its main purpose of creating an effective dialog between the buyers and sellers, the Animal Market in Syunik also serves, as a great location for local and foreign guests, contributing to the development of the tourism in the area. The annual Sheep Shearing Festival, which takes place at the Animal Market, welcomes hundreds of people each year.
