ARMENIA'S WINE EXPORTS TO INCREASE - AVAG HARUTYUNYAN
Tert.am

Exports of pomegranate and other fruit wines are expected to grow,
the President of the Armenian Winemakers Union has forecast.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday, Avag Harutyunyan said his
forecast is based on the increasing demand for such wines in the
world market, as well as what he called "the more loyal field" of
control in this segment.
Harutyunyan went on to say that in the recent ten years, except in
2009 and the first quarter of 2010, the ratio of exported wines and
brandy has not changed: 92-93% is brandy.
Also more than 90% of the exported brandy and 60-65% of wines are
consumed in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States,
he added.
Further, Harutyunyan said that the goal set by the government to
increase the exports of brandy up to 20 million liters by 2020 is
unrealistic.
"Our resources will never be enough for that, if we do not double in
the coming 5-10 years the vineyards," said he.
Harutyunyan also said that the Ministry of Agriculture is far from
perceiving things realistically when it declares about doubling or
tripling the production of brandy.
