They will produce "elite" wheat
The RA Government has confirmed the "RA 2010-2014 wheat seed-growing and seed-production program".
For purposes of program implementation, the government has allowed the RA Ministry of Agriculture to obtain seeds from "Luch" experimental LTD in the Russian region of Stavropol and import a number of sorts of seeds not registered for wheat seed-growing in the autumn and 950 tons of "Krasnodar 99" sort for reproduction.
The RA Minister of Agriculture was assigned to organize the procurement of seeds through "Agency for Seeds" State Non-Commercial Organization by signing corresponding agreements with Stavropol's "Luch" LTD and subjects involved in the production of elite seeds in Armenia.
