According to predictions this year’s grain harvest will exceed last year’s harvest. This prediction is mainly based on the fact that in 2011, the area of autumn sowing amounted to 90.8 thousand ha while in 2010 it amounted to 73 ha.

As the press service of Armenia’s Ministry of Agriculture informs Armenian News-NEWS.am, in some rural areas the autumn sowing has been damaged, we are talking about approximately 1750 hectares.
