ARMAVIR, JULY 10, ARMENPRESS: Farmers in Armavir province expect high
yield this year from their wheat fields. Arthur Ayvazyan, head of
agricultural and environmental department at the regional governor's
office, said the average yield from a hectare is expected to be about
3,500 kg despite damages caused by recent strong winds.
Low prices of wheat earlier this year forced many local farmers
to reduce the land areas under crop, which have dwindled by 40
percent. Overall some 8,000 hectares of land in the province are
under wheat.
The price of one kg of wheat at domestic market is now 100 Dram,
up 20 drams from a year ago.
