ARMENIA: FRUIT AND BERRY PRODUCTION DECREASES BY A QUARTER IN 2014

The Armenian ministry of Agriculture expects the fruit and berry
production in the country will be 250,000 to 258,000 tonnes in 2014.

Last year the production amount was still 338,100 tonnes, reports
the Armenian news agency Arka on its website.

The decrease in the production is linked to a cold spell in March:
a lot of snow fall on the 30th of March combined with strong wind
and a strong decrease in temperature caused considerable losses in
the Armenian agriculture, which are estimated at 27 million American
dollars (19.7 million Euro). According to figures from the ministry
the area affected was 9,185 hectares in total.

“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
