ArmInfo. Armenia's supply of fourth-grade wheat from Kazakhstan means the country also needs it, Deputy Minister of Economy Edgar Zakaryan told reporters on November 11.
According to him, it was initially stated that grain was being shipped to Armenia from Kazakhstan via Azerbaijan, but nothing was said about the grade of grain being imported. In any case, the deputy minister explained, this grain is also an item for diversifying the supply. "We don't have problems with bread, but we must understand that the country also needs animal feed. Overall, the fact that roads are being diversified is a very good thing. And if feed arrives today, tomorrow will tell what kind of grain will be delivered next. In any case, one thing is clear: if roads are diversified, it means the country is opening up," said Edgar Zakaryan.
As a reminder, on November 8, a train carrying Kazakh grain arrived in Armenia, having traveled through Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It carried approximately 1,000 tons of fourth-grade wheat. The wheat delivery to Armenia was made possible by Azerbaijan lifting restrictions on freight transport, which is helping restore regional communications and stimulate economic cooperation in the context of the agreements reached in Washington. Recently, wheat from the Russian Federation was also delivered to Armenia by rail through Azerbaijan and Georgia.
