Armenia’s level of self-sufficiency in essential foods will increase
to 80 % by 2020, agriculture minister Sergo Karapetyan said today.

According to the ministry data, the food self-sufficiency level
is about 60 percent now. The self-sufficiency in wheat production
is only 35-36 % that of poultry production is even less – 12-20 %,
while that of pork production is 41 %.

The self-sufficiency level for potatoes, melons, fruits, grape,
mutton and goat meat, beef and egg production is quite high. The same
is true regarding production of milk and dairy products.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
