YEREVAN. – The natural, mineral, and sweetened water exports from Armenia have substantially increased.   

In the first half of 2013, the natural and non-sweetened mineral water exports comprised 6.8 million liters (approx. $4 million), which virtually doubles the indicator for the first half of last year. 

To note, the geographical scope of the Armenian water exports is quite broad, but Russia remains the main consumer market, with 88 percent of the total volume of export. 

This year, for example, large batches of Armenian water were exported to Estonia, Israel, Latvia, and Lebanon.  

But the most impressive is the growth in the volume of export to Poland, as compared to the small volumes in previous years.  

Large quantities of Armenian waters are likewise sent for the first time to South Africa and Great Britain.   

Large batches are also exported to the “traditional” markets of Ukraine, United States, and Kazakhstan.
