    Armenian Agriculture Minister Gerasim Alaverdian stated on June 2
    that in 2009 Armenia exported around 147,000 sheep and that Armenian
    sheep farmers thus received an unprecedented profit. In the first
    five months of 2010 Armenia also exported 22,000 sheep, of which
    13,000 were re-exported after being initially imported from Russia
    and Georgia and 9,000 directly exported from Armenia.

    Alaverdian stated that in 2009 Armenia had a stock of 511,000 sheep and
    in 2010 it will have 919,000. Armenia plans to invest in increasing
    the amount of land sheep can be kept on and thus increase the number
    of sheep to 1.2 million.

    Interestingly the price of lamb has gone down in Armenia, so exporting
    these sheep has not influenced the lamb price.
