Armenian Time. The regular meeting of the RA government has begun, during which RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan, asking why food products are becoming more expensive or are being sold at high prices in the local market when, as announced, there is an export issue.
The Prime Minister stated that strawberries have an unusually high price in the consumption market, and cherries, apricots, and other products have also become more expensive.
“What does this mean, Mr. Papoyan?” the Prime Minister asked the minister.
The Minister of Economy of the RA began to list how much the number of exports is, how many tons of products have been exported, but the Prime Minister interrupted him, saying that those figures do not particularly answer the question.
Papoyan, addressing the question about price increases, stated that so far only flowers and tomatoes have become cheaper, while other products are being sold at the same price.
The Prime Minister expressed confusion about the situation prevailing in the market.
“It’s about tomatoes produced in greenhouses, right? The ground ones are not available yet, the same goes for strawberries. We have relieved greenhouse owners of 2 main concerns to cover current expenses. I believe that at least the fears that existed should not be there; we encourage business, and in any scenario, the result will be +/- . New paths are emerging, there are new routes, for example, there is no quantity limitation, you just need to get into the process,” the Prime Minister said.
