Berberyan: Armenia’s agriculture unprepared to enter Russian market
Saturday, October 18, 2014
Armenia’s agriculture is currently unprepared to enter the Russian
market, the chairman of the Agrarian-Rural Union of Armenia Hrach
Berberyan said today at a discussion about Armenia’s entry into the
Eurasian Economic Union.
In his opinion, Armenia should increase exports as Turkey may soon
glut the Russian market.
The parliamentary deputy of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) Levon
Khachatryan shared Berberyan’s opinion, noting the necessity of
investments for efficient organization of agricultural produce
exports.
L. Khachatryan discussed other problems in agricultural sector, in
particular the situation in Aragats village. “200 hectares of land are
already contaminated in the village. The reason is that farmers are
forced to use contaminated water of a hydropower plant because of the
absence of irrigation water,” he said.
