Armenia increased cognac exports 14.6% to 15.072 million liters in
2008, Avag Arutyunian, chairman of the Armenian Winemakers Union,
told Interfax.
Armenian cognac exports have been growing steadily since 1998.
Cognac imports declined 4% to 15,900 liters last year, he said.
The country boosted cognac production 13% to 15.962 million liters
in 2008.
At the same time, Arutyunian said cognac production grew at lesser
rates in 2008 than in 2007 and 2006 due to a shortage of grapes in
the country.
