Yerevan agricultural market attracts few customers

The vendors at the agricultural market in Yerevan's Khorenatsi Street
complain about the scarcity of customers.
Some of them, who earlier sold products in Kasyan street say they were
very satisfied with the market there (which opened last year), as
having many customers, they never returned home with full bags or
little money.
The fact was also confirmed by the market's director, Suren Margaryan.
`While they realize 1 ton per day in the Kasyan Street, they sell no
more than 500 kg here, and that often causes dissatisfaction. Yes, we
have less customers here compared to the Kasyan street,' he told
Tert.am.
Under a decision by the Ministry of Agriculture, the villagers selling
products at the Yerevan agricultural markets at week-ends are required
to change their market place every week. They do not pay for the
pavilions and are given scales for temporary use.
Yet, the villagers feel happy that the market offers them an
opportunity to sell at least something - be it though at a low price -
not to let their products get rotten.
`I sold 50 liters of wine from morning till noon today. But the money
I got will not suffice even for travelling back. But I cannot sell it
in the village as we have a lot of wine there,' said a vendor from the
Areni (a village from the Vayots Dzor region).
The agricultural market at the Khorenatsi Street saw fifty vendors
from different villages of Armenia offering their products this
Sunday.
