    PanARMENIAN.Net - In near future, Armenia will increase food security
    level to achieve a result of 80%, according to Armenian Agriculture
    Minister.

    As Sergo Karapetryan told a news conference in Yerevan, a 2010-2012
    food security provision concept was developed and confirmed by a
    presidential decree.

    "At present, Armenia's food self-sufficiency ratio reaches 60%, with
    the country planning to increase the figure to 80%," the Minister said.

    Adoption of a food security concept sets a firm foundation for
    stimulating local agricultural production, also developing mechanisms
    to increase crediting availability for farmers and agricultural
    enterprises.
