Explanatory Memorandum
1.Speltiscultivated intheCommunity mainlyinpartsoftheArdennes .
Itcannotbereplaced byothercropstherebecauseofthepeculiarities
I
ofweather andsoil.Theareaunderspeltin1980wasaround165ha,
yielding 4650quintals ofseed.

2.Theamountofcertified speltseedproduced issufficient tomeet
about28%ofrequirements .Increasing theoutputanduseofcertified
seedwouldraiseyieldsandstabilize production .Theproduction of
certified seedshouldtherefore beencouraged inordertosatisfy
demandforquality seed.
3.Speltseedisnotproduced intheregionwherethecropisgrown/so
thatasaspeciesitisincompetition economically withotherhigh-
valuecrops..Speltseedisalsomoreexpensive topreparethanseed
