Harvest of the 2014 winter crops (mainly wheat) is nearing completion.
Although planting was completed under favourable weather conditions,
cold and dry weather during the growing season negatively affected
crop yields, particularly of barley.

However, Government support measures, such as the provision of
subsidized credit, fuel and high quality seeds, prevented further
declines in outputs, reports FAO.

As a result, the production of the 2014 wheat main crop is forecast to
remain unchanged from last year’s bumper level at 250 000 tonnes,
whereas barley is expected to decrease to 160 000 tonnes or 11 per
cent below last year’s record level.

Overall, total cereal output is anticipated at 439 000 tonnes, a
decrease of 4 per cent from last year’s crop but still above the
previous five-year average.

“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
