YEREVAN, JULY 15, ARMENPRESSO~I The super elite seeds imported to
the Republic of Armenia will serve a base to produce elite seeds in
the country and stop their import from other countries. Armenpress was
reported about it by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Republic
of Armenia Samvel Galstyan. 20 tons of the super elite seeds imported
to Armenia in 2012 have fully justified the expectations and it is
expected to get 7-8 tons of harvest instead of the intended 5 tons.
As stated by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Republic
of Armenia Samvel Galstyan, the seed growing development program
approved by the Government of the Republic of Armenia provided with
the opportunity to implement a certain variety update. "In 2012 640
tons of elite seeds were imported to the Republic of Armenia", -
said Samvel Galstyan, adding that notwithstanding that fact, another
440 tons of first reproduction of wheat seeds will be imported from
the Russian Federation.
In the low lands of the Republic the harvest of the wheat has already
been launched. In 2011 168 thousand tons of wheat was produced
in Armenia. In 2012 the indicator made 243 thousand tons. It is
expected that the volumes of the production of the wheat and other
grain crops in Armenia will exceed the level of the previous year by
45-46,000 tons.
