    29% OF ARMENIAN POPULATION ARE UNDERFED

    Lragir, Armenia
    Nov 1 2006

    29 percent of the population of Armenia are underfed, states the report
    of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The report states that
    Armenia has managed to halve hungry people. The authors of the report
    point to the immense number of malnourished people in Uzbekistan and
    Tajikistan. These countries and Armenia are included in the list
    of countries which are facing serious food security problems. The
    experts state that Azerbaijan and Georgia have made considerable
    progess in this sphere. There are 700-800 thousand underfed people
    in these countries against 2.5 million in 1993-1995.

    The UN report states that there are 25 million undernourished people
    in the countries with a transitional economy, 21 million live in
    the CIS. The worst situation is in Tajikistan, 60 percent of the
    population is underfed.

    The report states that it will be impossible to bring into being the
    goal set in 1996 in the summit of Rome to halve hungry people in the
    world by 2015.
