Romania and Armenia will cooperate on agricultural trade exchanges and
an Armenian technical team will soon come to Bucharest to determine the
specific areas of cooperation between the two countries, the Ministry
of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) said in Thursday release.
The decision was made following the meeting MADR Secretary of State
George Octavian Turtoi had with counterpart Armen Harutyunyan,
Armenia's Deputy Minister of Agriculture, during the FAO Regional
Conference in Bucharest.
The Armenian party expressed interest in strengthening cooperation
between the two countries by developing experience exchanges in
fruit growing, agricultural consultancy services, forestry, as well
as expertise swaps on the management of European funds.
Romania voiced interest in developing relations with Armenia in
agriculture and rural development by providing the necessary expertise
in agriculture, as well as in the management of European and national
financial instruments.
Moreover, the sides agreed that in the future, an Armenian technical
team should come to Bucharest to establish the specific areas of
cooperation.
As concerns the situation of agricultural trade, Romania expressed
readiness to supply the Armenian market with high quality food.
According to official data, in 2012, Romania - Armenia trade exchanges
stood at 7.87 million US dollars, of which Romanian exports to Armenia
stood at 7.25 million dollars and imports from Armenia to Romania
at 0.62 million dollars; with a surplus of 6.63 million dollars,
Romania was thus running a favorable balance.
Expressed in percentage shares, in 2012 the total amount of bilateral
trade fell 16 percent from 2011, with exports sliding 18 percent and
imports advancing 17 percent.
Over Jan - April 2013 trade exchanges saw a rise by 6.2 percent y-o-y,
with exports growing 14.6 percent and imports dropping 93.3 percent.
