YEREVAN, August 24. / ARKA /. Armenia will buy buffalo meat only
from five Indian companies, Grisha Baghian, first deputy minister of
agriculture, said today. In 2010 the Government of Armenia approved
a special procedure for import of buffalo meat from India.
A year earlier a working group was set up by the prime minister
to address the issue and several Armenian delegations visited meat
factories in India to be dissatisfied with their sanitary conditions.
The deputy minister said delegations came to the conclusion that
Armenia should purchase meat only from five Indian companies.
According to him, in order to ensure full control over this process,
the government has appointed a specialist to work in India in
collaboration with these companies and give permissions to Armenian
companies to buy meat.
Buffalo meat from India is used in Armenia for production of sausages.
In line with the government decision, only those Indian companies which
have at least ten years experience, have their own slaughterhouse,
processing plants and freezing facilities meeting world standards
can export meat to Armenia.
