Various technologies are applied. `I have raised the problem hundreds
of times. We must study the problem, compare the real weight with what
is indicated in the invoice,' Poghosyan said.
As a rule, the difference is 180 to 190 grams. Four years ago
Poghosyan presented results of a survey that showed a 30% loss on
bread weight. `I do not think the situation has changed since,' he
added.
Armenia's State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition
reported an increase if flour price in Armenia this July as compared
with June. An AMD 10-20 rise in bread prices was reported as well.
The manager of one of the flour-importing companies told mass media
about a 16% increase in flour price in the international market. This
is the reason why an increase in flour price should be expected in
Armenia this September.
