The State Commission on Protection of Economic Competition (SCPEC)
promises to punish severely big and small egg producers, Chairman of
SCPEC, Artak Shaboyan, said at today's round table held in Yerevan
and dedicated to the competition problems.
The Commission has been holding daily monitoring of the production
volumes, sale and egg prices. Shaboyan said that the purpose of the
monitoring is to prevent possible speculation actions by the egg
producers as the demand for eggs is growing.
He also added that not only producers but also the retail trade
companies - supermarkets and shops will be also punished for possible
violations at the market. He assured that at present "everything is
normal" at the egg market.
To recall, sharp and baseless growth of the egg prices was fixed during
the New Year holidays, when an egg cost 100 drams instead of the
former 60 drams. As a result of the audit held by the Anti-Monopoly
Commission, the Lusakert poultry farm was fined at 100 mln drams
(about $274 thsd). The Commission assessed the actions of the farm
like taking advantage for the dominating position at the market.
According to the data of the statistics, about 719 mln eggs were
produced in 2010, which was by 14% more than in 2009.
