Armenia
Attempts to monopolize the cheese market account for the rise in
cheese prices, the former Armenian premier, member of the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) Hrant Bagratyan told journalists Nov. 2. He
pointed out that neither the Armenian Government nor the State Revenue
Committee opposes the attempts.
According to him, the reason for the price rise is not at all a higher
price in milk prices. He reported a 20 AMD rise in the milk price in
the Ararat valley, whereas no rise was registered in the mountainous
regions. In this case, the cheese price was to rise by 140 AMD per
kilo, as producing one kilo of cheese requires seven liters of milk.
Bagratyan is also critical of the quality of Armenian cheese. He
pointed out that "20 to 30 per cent of Armenian cheese is salt. The
cheese is very salty and causes salt accumulation in organism."
