>From about 46 thousand hectares of cereal fields of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic over 38 thousand hectares has already
been harvested, said the Minister of Agriculture of Karabakh Armo
Tsaturyan in a meeting with the Prime Minister on the results of the
final harvest.
"The average yield per hectare is only 6.8 quintals," said the minister
during a meeting with senior officials in this sphere and heads of
regional administrations.
As it was reported to the agency ARKA in the management of Information
and Public Relations of the NKR Government, the head of the Karabakh
government Ara Harutyunyan drew the meeting's attention to the fact
that this year's low crop yield is a problem worldwide, so that is
expected to have an unprecedented price hike for grains.
"We need to advise producers of grain, so they do not hurry with the
implementation of the harvest," said Harutyunyan.
The meeting discussed the issue of providing public assistance to
owners of fields affected by the hail.
The Prime Minister instructed the Minister of Agriculture to head a
special commission and within a 20-day period to examine the state
of damaged land.
It is planned to provide financial assistance to land users.
Addressing the issue of state support in agriculture, NKR Prime
Minister noted that the attitude in this regard is tightened.
The meeting also touched upon increased interaction between the
machine-tractor stations and land users.
