EURASIAN UNION OPENS NEW MARKET TO ARMENIAN CHEESE BUSINESSES - SPECIALISTS
11:47 * 11.12.14
Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) will mark
a good period for cheese manufacturers, requiring them to increase
the production volumes to meet the common market's demands, says the
chairman of the Native Commodity Producers' Union.
"Good times are coming for cheese manufacturers, so they must use the
chance. The cheese export will increase after the EEU membership,
as everything will be naturally facilitated, with no red tape or
customs clearance procedures. " Vazgen Safaryan told Tert.am when
asked to share his forecasts on possible advantages for the domestic
cheese businesses.
He said he expects cheese to have the highest demand on the EEU market
but ruled out the possibility of any shortage. "The anti-monopoly
commission has to maintain control on everything. It is now time to
have an agency responsible for price formation in Armenia to estimate
the prices for each specific product," Safaryan added.
Armen Grigoryan, President of the Union of Cheese Producers, agrees
that the big common Eurasian market looks really promising to domestic
manufacturers. "The Russian market has always been said to be quite
big and interesting. And that in turn broadens the opportunities. The
question is simply whether we will manage to make the right use
of those opportunities," he said, expressing his concerns over
organizational issues.
Gevorgyan said he doesn't expect shortage on the domestic market due to
the increased exports. "That's only the first impression. The market,
as a matter of fact, is a self-regulating one," he noted.
