The milk production should be not only homemade but also should be
produced by large companies as far as the Armenian cattle-breeding has
all the grounds for progress, told today the director of sociological
center "Sociometer" Aharon Adibekyan.
According to him the cheese and the dairy food may become a "white
gold" for Armenia because there are unique geographical conditions for
development of that field. Armenia has all the possibilities to
produce Swiss "Emental" cheese the kilogram of which costs 50-60
dollars. Besides that there are some types of Armenian cheese that are
very famous in Europe, like "Lori", "Chanakh", "Chechil", Adibekyan
believes.
"Official approach is needed in this sphere. The state should promote
the cheese production by providing them cheaper credits in order to
export our cheese," Adibekyan said and added that the companies who
export their goods should have corresponding certificates which will
cost them 100 to 150 thousand dollars.
"The state support here is very important. The taste of Armenian
cheese does not yield to any other country's cheese. However, we are
not presenting our production to the world. It's high time to turn
from importing country to exporting one," he said.
