Sunday,
July 07
12,700 tons of apricots have been exported from Armenia this year, as
compared with 6,500 tons in the same period of last year, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture Robert Makarian told RFE/RL Armenian Service
today.
He said 4,500 tons of apricots were purchased by Armenia's large as
well as small and medium processing companies this year, compared with
2,200 tons in the same period of 2012.
According to Makarian, there are 15 processing companies, including 5
large ones, in Armenia. The apricot price is still 50 AMD.
The deputy minister found it difficult to forecast an increase in the
purchase price of apricots because a rich harvest of apricots was
reaped this year and the harvest is continuing.
