Tigran Sargsyan noted that the Armenian processing enterprises have problems and issues related to the implementation of sales and they expect support from the state. The Prime Minister focused on two sets of problems.

According to him, the second category of issues involves the discussion, whether it is appropriate with the participation of the state to unite small and medium-sized enterprises, creating a joint venture for the purposes of exports of processed agricultural products.
