ArmInfo. The potato sharp price hike in Armenia over the current year
has only unbiased reasons, deputy of Armenian parliament Lernik
Aleksanyan told journalists today.
This year just the same way as during the past years the machinery of
the market price formation was functioning in the given segment of
agriculture. During the past years the potato price was formed
according to correlation between demand and supply, and its high price
in 2010 is not a result of the actions of those who cultivate potato.
Over the past year there was surplus of potato in the country and the
farmers had a problem of its sale. This made them to cultivate grain
crops, which has led to deficit of potato. For this reason, Aleksanyan
is sure there is no monopoly at the potato market. At present potato
costs about 250 drams, but it costs a little less in the villages.
Last year it cost 150 drams per kilogram.
He is sure that the problem of agriculture is that it does not have
farm unions which can coordinate farmers work and protect their
interests. The unions should be set up on voluntary basis. At the same
time he thinks that agriculture sphere should be regulated by the
state, which in its turn should draw out and conduct the state policy
on development of this sphere.
