Research conducted by the Armenian NGO Protection of Consumers Rights
have revealed that the price of beef was recently raised artificially
in Armenia.
As stated by NGO President Abgar Yeghoyan at a press conference today,
one of the reasons for the rise in beef prices could've been the cost
of mutton going up, thus resulting in an increased demand for beef.
However, according to Yeghoyan, probing the issue revealed that
instead of the demand for beef increasing, it has fallen, while its
price went up.
According to Yeghoyan, Protection of Consumers Rights cannot solve
this issue; however, it's not necessary to turn to the RA State
Commission for Protection of Economic Competition as there's no
monopoly in this sector.
"The state should use different leverages in this matter; this field
should be regulated by law," said Yeghoyan, adding that he was hopeful
that the cattlebreeding and sheepbreeding program implemented by the
RA Ministry of Agriculture would be able to regulate this sector.
