Panorama.am has covered in its previous articles that after “Bjni” left the customer market the purchase amount of “Jermuk” has been significantly increased, although the official figures of its production remained the same. Besides, the doubtful quality of “Jermuk” has become much spoken by the public.

Before “Bjni” was leading the market, but currently, according to surveys, “Jermuk” has occupied the market. According to the experts we deal with the shadow circulation of mineral water.

Maria Arsenyan, the head of staff of “Jermuk Group” company told Panorama.am reporter that they have not added any amount in the market. Nara Manukyan, category manager of “SAS” supermarkets refused to present figures but said that “Jermuk” is much demanded in recent period.

In “Yeritsyan” supermarkets the situation is similar as the purchase of “Jermuk” has been increased. Karen Soghomonyan the director of “Yerevan City” supermarkets net said that “Jermuk” is sold in the supermarket by 10% more than earlier.

Panorama.am did not manage to find out from the Ministry of Nature Protection whether the company applied to increase the amount of their production.
