tert.am Armenia could lose more than 80% of its revenue from cheese exports if it is cut off from the Russian market.
This is reported by RIA "Novosti," analyzing data from national statistical services.
According to the results of 2025, Armenia's revenue from cheese supplies to global markets amounted to 16.4 million dollars. Of this, 13.5 million dollars came from exports to Russia.
Thus, the Russian market accounted for 83% of the revenue from Armenian cheese exports.
Russia is not only the largest buyer of Armenian cheese but also the only country that has consistently imported Armenian cheese worth millions of dollars every month.
In 2025, the other major buyers of Armenian cheese were the USA (1.8 million dollars) and Georgia (670.9 thousand dollars).
Previously, Rosselkhoznadzor announced that it would temporarily restrict the supply of all types of dairy products from Armenia to Russia.
