%T Armenia's Agricultural Sector: From the Subsistence Line to Discrete Take-Off? %A Dubois, Virginie-Anne %J Caucasus Analytical Digest %N 88 %P 6-11 %D 2016 %K Armenia; Agricultural Sector; economy %@ 1867-9323 %~ Forschungsstelle Osteuropa an der Universität Bremen %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-88521-0 %X This contribution discusses the overall lay-out and (re-) orientation of Armenia's agricultural sector since it decreased to subsistence levels and a virtual standstill in the early 1990s. Promising due to both a set of favorable, natural-physical conditions and agricultural traditions, part of which survived Soviet agricultural policies and the country's "transition" and integration in the world economy following its collapse. Armenia's agriculture and agro-industry have had a timid resurgence in the past few years. Driven by the emergence of small and medium-sized farms and the regionalization of a number of primary sector activities and the presence of markets in Russia and the Persian-Arab Gulf, the potential of Armenia's agriculture remains stunted, however, by the country's land-locked position and the border blockades that have been in effect since the Nagorno-Karabakh War, both of which are obstacles for proper agricultural exports. %C DEU %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
