Export Consortiums need to be established in Armenia, told Robert
Haroutiunyan, director general of the Armenian Development Agency
(ADA), a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Currently, when it is difficult to find new markets, small
companies need to unite their efforts in entering new markets," he
said. According to him, ADA jointly with UNIDO and Cheese Producers
Association elaborated a project aimed at establishing an export
consortium, in particular for cheeses producers. The project has
already submitted to the government.
According to Mr. Haroutiunyan, some 70 producers of cheese currently
operate in Armenia, as well as a number of small entrepreneurs in
the regions. "It is necessary to unite them under the common brand
to present Armenian cheese properly in the world market," he said.
The work of consortium will enable Armenian producers of cheese to
triple the current volume of exports to 1200 - 1400 tons.
Initially the Cheese Producers Association will hold a half of shares
of the new consortium, and the rest will belong to the government,
which will gradually sell its shares to the consortium. Export
consortium will be equipped with laboratory, production line, packing
technology, enabling to produce high quality products in line with
international standards, said Mr. Haroutiunyan.
