Prices of purchased products should be determined when contracts
concluded: President
YEREVAN, May 5. / ARKA /. Prices of products purchased from the
farmers should be determined when contracts with processing companies
are concluded, President Serzh Sargsyan said Thursday during a meeting
with top managers of processing companies, Sargsyan's press office
reported.
"It is unacceptable when processing companies sign contracts with
farmers, and then, depending on the situation, the amount of harvest
and so on, they start negotiating prices," said the president.
According to the president, another strange picture is observed when
prices of agricultural goods in two adjacent areas are different.
"I think it's wrong. In my opinion, the best approach is one when
signing contracts, it is clear to people what price they will get for
their products, "said Sargsyan.
According to him, if not this, then next year, it is necessary that
all economic entities are able to give their preliminary estimates
about how much of crops they could buy and conclude contracts with
that in mind.
He noted also that the number of processing companies is gradually
increasing along with rising demand.
"Your mission is to stimulate increased production of agricultural
products not only for processing at canneries and making profits, but
also because increased agricultural output will have a significant
impact on inflation,"- said Sargsyan. -0-
