The "Fact" daily writes:
A few days ago, we reported that in 2024 Armenia was one of the main suppliers of flowers for Russia. Moreover, Armenia is the second largest supply of flowers at $ 32.1 million on that list. We also mentioned that this year the number of flowers exported from Armenia to Russia has doubled. The reason is the export of unprecedented volume by Spayka. According to our information, this year "Spaykan" has already exported about 35 million poppies from Armenia to Russia, which, according to statistics, is a new exported commodity from Armenia. How "It was discovered" that segment. In response to the question of "Fact" newspaper, Davit Ghazaryan, head of "Spayka" company, says it was not a random election, but the result of a cold calculation.
"We were looking for a highly increased product that we can develop in the complex infrastructure created by our current and years." In general, the well-known businessman assesses the current state of Armenia's economy in terms of the development of the private sector.
"Armenian business, especially in the real business sector, operates in a difficult but manageable environment today. The main feature is that we are a small market, and our large-scale capabilities are highly dependent on exports, "says David Ghazaryan. As for the economic development, the head of" Spayka "says. "From the point of view of export, first of all, agriculture, processing, food industry, light industry, IT sector.
The development of these areas requires infrastructure, accessible finances, stable energy sources, predictable exports. "Today, the topic of Armenia's foreign economic direction is being discussed. Naturally, the assessment of the largest exporter of Armenia is interesting to such changes. "The issue of changing the foreign economic direction should be considered exclusively from the point of view of Armenia's economy and national interests. Armenia is a small state, with limited resources, and our export potential is implemented in the Russian and East market, "said David Ghazaryan, not only what we manufacture what we manufacture our products. "Today, the EEU is the key export market of Armenia. The Russian market is the largest consumer of Armenian exports, "says our interlocutor.
We ask how to accake on the EAEA specific advantages to Armenia's economy. "Thanks to the EU membership, we are working in one customs area, the goods do not need double certification, the customs duties is zero, the rules of the movement of goods are simplified. This gives us the opportunity to spend the resources to invest, to increase the quality of the product, being competitive.
The second important point is energy. Armenia receives natural gas from Russia at preferential prices, which allows us to control the production costs, "said David Ghazaryan. Recently, the RA National Assembly adopted the Law on the launch of the European Union's accession to the European Union. How can foreign economic policy affect the development of Armenia's economy? David Ghazaryan first notes that the EAEA and the EU are incompatible integration unions. "EU membership is a long-term and costly process. It will require Armenia to reconstruct its economy, which can take 10-15 years and demand billions of dollars.
It is also unclear where Armenian products will be supplied if we lose access to the EEU market, and the European market is still in the transition period. Is it impossible to export goods without EU membership? "Let's first emphasize the main market of Armenian goods to become a member of Armenia, and EU countries were exported in non-significant quantities, as now, by joining the EAEA, to Russia and other EEU countries became more profitable.
When joining the unit, we are once on the EAEA and now or now the EU to observe the beneficial market, it is necessary to consider three issues. First of all, it is a logistics, in its directions, Turkey, Georgia, ferry. Turkey forbids Armenian trucks in the case of Georgia, in the case of Georgia's daily routine, which is now missing and requires high imports.
Although our company has all the certifications for exporting, we have its own major carKark, but the EU market is not allowed by the US market, the EU market faces an unprecedented situation.
The probability of recession is very large. Consumer prices in the EU market will decrease, "says our interlocutor. It turns out that David Ghazaryan is against the law on starting the EU's EU membership. "Yes, my approach is negative, the EU is not an alternative to the EEU, it should be supplemented by our current export market, bilateral trade agreements," he said.
As for solutions, outs, the prospects, then David Ghazaryan sums up. "Business works hard, the state should support the exporter business and does not hinder. Armenia needs a strong exporter economy and the end. "
