Armenian agricultural products and processed goods possess substantial export potential, providing both food for the population and raw materials for various industries. In 2023, agriculture was the third largest sector of the Armenian economy, comprising about 8.4 percent of GDP (down from 10.4 percent in 2022), following trade (12.6 percent) and the manufacturing industry (11 percent). The sector is especially crucial in rural areas, providing primary livelihoods and economic activities. Employment in agriculture accounted for 21.65 percent of the total workforce in Armenia. Food insecurity in Armenia is driven by financial hardship, the economic impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic, the consequences of the conflict concerning Nagorno-Karabakh and the war in Ukraine; taken together, these factors put additional strain on marginally food-secure households. The war in Ukraine has disrupted traditional logistics routes to and from Armenia, impeding the country’s export and import potential. The agriculture sector has been particularly impacted by the disruption of fuel, seed, pesticide and fertilizer supplies, which has caused significant increases in the price of these inputs. In this context, the government requested FAO emergency support to assist with the import of high-quality wheat seeds to mitigate the risk of shortages in wheat supplies. -
