The Minister of Agriculture Aramayis Grigoryan has had a meeting with the Ambassador of the USA Marie Yovanovich, reported the press department of the Ministry. The Minister and the Ambassador have discussed a range of questions, in particular the import of poultry into Armenia from America.
In this regard Panorama.am reporter has been informed by Alexander Alexanyan of the Ministry of Agriculture that poultry from America has been imported into Armenia after the poultry flue. In general poultry is imported from Canada and Brazil also. Armenia does not export poultry because of lack of roads.
Alexanyan said that there are 5 big firms which give good product. To the question if there are firms in Armenia providing poultry why Armenia has become poultry importing country, he answered: “Our local product is more expensive that’s why imported product is purchased well”.
