YEREVAN. – The new law on organic products in Armenia will be ready in March-April 2017, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Armen Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“There are organizations [in Armenia] that use the words ‘bio,’ ‘eco,’ ‘organic’ in the name of the product,” noted the deputy minister. “We will help them to either become truly organic, or give [them] some time that they presented themselves to the market with a new brand because ‘organic’ has its own criteria, and they must be abide by.”
