Armenia exported 32,000 tons of fruits and vegetables in 2012,
Armenian Deputy Agriculture Minister Robert Makaryan said.
"This is more than in 2011, when 16,800 tons were exported," he said.
The deputy minister also said that the export of fruits and vegetables
in Jan-March 2013 grew as well, compared with the same period a
year before.
"Some 1,042 tons of fresh fruits and vegetables were exported in the
first quarter of 2012, and 4,000 were exported in this year's first
quarter," he said.
Makaryan said potatoes dominated the export in the first quarter -
about 500 tons were shipped in Jan-March 2013 against 25 tons over
the same period a year earlier.
"Some 24,300 tons were exported to Russia, 6,000 tons to Georgia and
660 tons to Ukraine in 2012," the deputy agriculture minister said.
He said that Armenia has already sent 3,300 tons of fruits and
vegetables to Russia, 564 tons to Georgia and 80 tons to the United
Arab Emirates since the beginning of this year.
