Farming and animal husbandry are the sources of employment in the village, which has 1180 hectares of arable land and pasture. The village has around 1000 heads of cattle, 1215 domesticated birds, 120 beehives. The average annual production is 520 tons of milk, 30 tons of grain, 400 000 eggs.
The village has no food processing facility, the sale and use of the produce is a problem. Grain remains unsold, a dairy factory buys some milk but not regularly, there is no consistent market for meat. Some products are sold at the Gyumri markets. The village has a higher production capacity but cannot use it in the absence of regular demand.
The village has 20 tractors of different capacities, 17 trucks, 6 ploughs, 3 harvesting combines.
