The Food and Agriculture Organization of UN has approved a series of
projects in 48 countries for a total value of US$ 21 million to help
small farmers and vulnerable households mitigate the negative effects
of rising food and input prices reported the press service of the UN.

Armenia and Kazakhstan are in the list of those 48 countries.

The immediate objective of these projects is to ensure the success of
the next planting seasons and, in the longer term, demonstrate that
by increasing the supply of key agricultural inputs, such as seeds
and fertilizers, small farmers will be able to rapidly increase their
food production.
