Armenia to import wheat from Iran instead of Russia
TEHRAN, Aug. 21 (MNA) -- Following the bar on the export of wheat from Russia until the end of the year, Armenia showed keenness to import wheat from Iran.
Extreme heat and draught in Russia has dried some 20 percent of agricultural land there and forbidden any export of wheat from that country. This, in turn, has led to the increase in the price of wheat in Armenia which imports its wheat mainly from Russia.
Armenia produces only 200,000 tons of its annual 700,000 tons wheat consumption.
Due to the cordial relations and trade ties Armenia has with Iran the country want to import the wheat it needs from the Islamic Republic.
