The Ministry of Agriculture fulfills a project of developing barley
and wheat planting. The objective of the project is to develop planting
of barley and wheat and to get such level that seeds are not imported
from foreign countries, said Samvel Avetisyan, the deputy minister
of agriculture.

According to the deputy minister the very first steps are already
done as seeds are being produced in different scientific centers of
Armenia. After that the farmers should be trained to take care of
the seeds and get rich harvest.

According to Avetisyan the seeds which are imported in these years
have bad quality very often. To handle the problem special laboratories
should be established to check the quality and type of those seeds.
