The RA Minister of Agriculture or his representatives visit "Vedi
Alco" Company every day to see whether the company has not gone back
on its promise to purchase grapes from peasants.
The president of the Company, Manvel Ghazaryan says they will keep
their promise, though he notes their business is not going well.
"The company's exports have declined about 50 percent in volume,"
Mr Ghazaryan said adding that Vedi Alco has also lost its largest
market in Russia.
Asked why the government forces a company with reduced export volumes
to buy grape from villagers, Mr Ghazaryan said, "They are fulfilling
their functions; they are concerned."
Though the president of the company says they have not been forced
to purchase grapes from farmers, he confesses that they do not need
to store the fruit. "We have not fully exhausted the harvest bought
in 2010," he said.
At the same time Manvel Ghazaryan says they want to help farmers by
buying grapes. He also noted that Armenians started to drink less
wine and more vodka.
"Today Armenians use more vodka than Russians," he concluded.
