    The Armenian Government today approved of the program of development
    of wheat seed-farming and seed-production for 2010-2014.

    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan noted that the problem of seeds will
    be solved through close cooperation between the government and the
    private agricultural sector. "This is the first time the government
    allocates sums for purchasing high-quality seeds," he said

    "The program is expected to solve the issue of high quality seeds and
    will make it possible for Armenia to satisfy the domestic demand for
    wheat seeds. The production of wheat will reach 340-350 mln tones,
    the volume of imports will decrease," Minister of Agriculture Gerasim
    Alaverdyan said.

    Gerasim Alaverdyan noted that the program basically aims to expand
    cultivation areas of wheat up to 115,000-120,000 ha, 400,000 tones
    of wheat will be produced per year. "This will allow increasing the
    level of wheat provision in the country from 37% to 55%," he said.
