country, in average 300 thousand ha have been used, and it is expected
that this year this figure will be 325 thousand and 400 thousand ha -
in future.
Galstyan reminded that for supporting the farms, Armenia imported from
Ukraine nitric fertilizers which are sold by the price of 6 thousand
drams per 50 kg sack.

2.8 thousand tons have been already provided to the farmers in Ararat
and Armavir regions of Armenia. Another six tons are still in the
port in Poti and will be delivered to Armenia in the nearest future.

per liter) and of the envisaged 12.6 thousand tons 2689 tons has
