Deputy of the National Assembly "Armenia" faction, representative of the ARF Tavush Regional Committee Garnik Danielyan warns.
"From June 1 to June 18, no fruits and vegetables were exported from the Republic of Armenia to EU member states. in response to my request, the Ministry of Economy informs me, referring to the Ministry of Economy.
For the same period, according to the Ministry of Economy, the export of flowers amounted to 1996.3 thousand pieces and 17.2 tons. The flower export volumes by countries are as follows: Georgia-15.6 t., Bulgaria-0.2 t., Netherlands-0.1 t., Romania-0.7 t., IRI-0.6 t.
According to the same information, only 2,000 flowers were exported to Austria and 2,900 to France.
At the same time, it is reported in the letter that active works are being carried out in order to export to EU member states.
As long as the authorities of the day "going" towards the EU negotiate in the direction of finding new markets, the Armenian businessman suffers huge losses.
Flower producers report that they have to discard thousands of flowers per day, because they are not sold either in domestic or foreign markets.
These days, in various supermarkets, we notice flower sales, which, according to flower producers, are only flowers from large greenhouses.
By the way, in response to Yerkir.am's written inquiry, the Prime Minister's Office informed that the expenses related to the organization and conduct of the French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to Armenia amounted to AMD 54,360,539.
Huge sums of money were also allocated from the budget for the implementation of the 8th summit of the European Political Community and the RA-EU summit. According to estimates, all of them together amount to about 5 million dollars, and that's not all. some of the costs are not disclosed in the name of confidentiality.
After all this, a question arises: Is this the price that Armenian peasants have to pay for these anti-Russian shows? Even for a person with basic knowledge, it is clear that conquering new markets is not a matter of days, but of years.
Meanwhile, having been in power for 8 years, they have not taken any steps in the direction of export diversification.
For at least 5 years, we have been asking the NA podium what alternative markets you are looking for to sell Armenian products.
You will not be able to "blow dust" in the eyes of our citizens. "The Armenian producer feels the disastrous consequences of your short-sighted, incompetent policy every day."
