Tens of thousands of farmers across Armenia have received this spring diesel fuel for tractors and other agricultural machines at prices subsidized by the government, a senior government official said on Wednesday.
The government approved the scheme in February as part of its promised efforts to boost state support for the country’s struggling agricultural sector. The Armenian Ministry of Agriculture was allocated 1.3 billion drams ($3.4 million) to offer a total of 12,600 tons of diesel to farmers for 350 drams per liter in time for the spring crop planting. The ministry purchased the fuel from a private company for 440 drams per liter.
