    FAO TO ALLOT $254,000 FOR VIRTUAL CONSULTATION NETWORK IN ARMENIA

    ARKA
    July 2

    Armenia and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    (FAO/UN) signed a technical cooperation agreement worth $254,000 during
    the 26th European Regional FAO Conference in Austria in late June,
    reported RA First Deputy Minister of Agriculture Samvel Avetisyan.

    He said the money will serve for one purpose: to create a virtual
    consultation network. A FAO representative will arrive in Armenia
    soon to discuss the details of the program with local authorities.

    The Deputy Minister was quoted as saying: "We must get in touch with
    farmers to enhance production capabilities."

    He pointed out that regional agricultural centers and local governments
    will implement the program.

    Avetisyan said the Prime Minister himself stresses the importance of
    the program.

    FAO and IFAD Permanent Representative in Armenia Zohrab Malek has
    been elected CE Chairman on Agricultural Issues, thanks to the
    organization's productive activities in Armenia, according to the
    Deputy Minister.

    Armenia became FAO member in November 1993. The FAO Yerevan Office
    opened in September 2004.

    The organization has played a crucial role in Armenia's agrarian
    policy for the past 13 years.

    The organization's experiences have shown that providing essential
    support for agricultural activities is effective in rapidly reducing
    poverty.
