    ISSUES CONNECTED WITH HARVESTING WERE DISCUSSED

    NKR Government Information and Public Relations Department
    June 23, 2009

    Today, the conference convoked by the NKR Prime Minister Ara
    Haroutyunyan, was dedicated to the proceeding of bread grains
    harvesting and the existent problems. The heads of regional
    administrations delivered information on harvesting carried out in
    the regions to the Premier. A.Haroutyunyan demanded to be consecutive
    and to complete the harvesting in high tempos. He interested in
    availability of combine harvesters and instructed to organize
    the mowing in a way than none of the regions has problems with
    agricultural techniques during the entire harvesting period.In the
    southern part of the Republic: in Martouni and Hadrout regions it is
    a hot harvesting time.

    According to information of responsible officials of regional
    administrations, an average wheat productivity forms 11.2 centner,
    and in spring 13.4 centners. In comparison with the previous year,
    the productivity has decreased because of damage caused by rodents
    and locusts. According to the Government head's opinion the undesired
    low crop productivity is more preconditioned by the work of land
    cultivators and them supervising circles.

    The Prime Minister once again emphasized the importance of considering
    the agriculture as a strategic branch and noted that henceforth
    strict measures will be undertaken towards those executing their
    duties with carelessness.

    Contracts with large-scale land holders not executing cultivation
    proper to standards will be reviewed.

    This year preliminarily 80000 tones of crop are expected. Touching
    upon the crop realization, A.Haroutyunyan expressed hope that there
    will be no serious problems. Solvent mills are ready to accept the
    crop and to pay not less than 105 drams for a kilogram of wheat.

    During the conference at whicy the Vice Prime Minister, Minister of
    Financet S.Tevosyan and the Minister of Agriculture A.Tsatryan were
    present; issues connected with maize cultivation and land fallowing
    were also discussed. The Prime Minister recommended the heads of
    regional administrations to pay special attention to the irrigation
    sphere. Within the framework of the foreseen programmes, in this
    direction voluminous works are anticipated in the forthcoming years.
