The government of Armenia, at its Cabinet meeting Thursday, made a decision to provide support for the country’s greenhouse-produced fruit, vegetables, and flowers’ exports for July as well.

“The decision will somewhat alleviate the problems associated with the export of individual greenhouse-produced products, opportunity will be given to diversify [Armenia’s] export markets, which will contribute to ensuring the normal operation of [the country’s] organizations,” the decision’s explanation states.

The Armenian government notes that the list of products receiving compensation in July has been supplemented with cherry tomatoes, and the amount of compensation being provided for flowers being exported to EU member states, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland has been increased.

The analysis of export dynamics showed that in July, the projected exports within the framework of this decision will amount to about 150 tons of strawberries, about 3,900 tons of vegetables, and about 5.2 million flowers.

By the way, according to operational information provided by the Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia in June, about 784 tons of peppers, 208 tons of tomatoes, 109 tons of strawberries, as well as about 3.5 million or 35 tons of flowers were exported from the country.

In May, the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) imposed restrictions on the import of flowers from Armenia, then on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, greens, and strawberries.
