Armenia has called in specialists from the International Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) to assist in measures seeking to stem
the spreading of the potato moth from the rural community of Darakert.
The moth has already caused extensive damage to the potato and tomato
crop in the area.
Deputy Agricultural Minister Robert Makaryan told reporters today that
the moth had already spread to neighboring villages but failed to name
them.
Makaryan did not mention how the moth, common and widespread in the
warmer parts of the Pacific region, turned up in Armenia's Ararat
Province.
