    Armenia exports 18,200 tons of apricots


    YEREVAN, July 13. / ARKA /. Some 18,200 tons of apricots have been
    exported by Armenia as of now, up 44 percent from a year ago, a deputy
    agriculture minister Robert Makaryan told reporters today. He said the
    substantial increase was due to a good crop of apricots this year.

    Makaryan said the bulk of exports went to Russia and neighboring
    Georgia. Also 76 tons were exported to the Netherlands, Norway and
    Belarus. The deputy minister said for the first time Armenian apricots
    were exported to Zimbabwe, albeit in a very small batch. He said the
    purchase price of the exported apricots ranged from 200 to 700 drams
    per kilo.

    Makaryan said also apricots are being procured by 21 local companies,
    which have bought so far 10,108 tons of fruit against 4,480 tons in
    the same period last year, however, the procurement process is not yet
    complete. Overall, he said, 42,505 tons of fruits and vegetables have
    been procured so far by local canneries, up from 31,280 tons in the
    same time span last year. -0-
