The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is awarding an agreement to the Center for Agribusiness and Rural Development (CARD) to increase American agricultural exports to Armenia. In coordination with USDA, CARD will support Armenian mills importing U.S. wheat through complimentary training, facilitate research on wheat diseases to safeguard America's wheat supply, conduct food safety training, and support short-term trade promotion programming.
FAS is issuing this award as part of a portfolio of projects called ‘Coordinating Agricultural Development & Innovation’ (CADI). This project unlocks Armenia to U.S. exports by increasing Armenia’s capacity to buy U.S. wheat, reducing food safety regulatory barriers, and connect Armenian buyers with U.S. exporters. Today’s award will help lead to an additional $4.6 million in exports of U.S. agricultural commodities to Armenia’s 3 million consumers.
