YEREVAN, June 18. /ARKA/. From June 1 to 17, Armenia exported 411 tons of greenhouse vegetables and strawberries, as well as approximately 1.8 million flowers, to 15 countries, RA Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan announced at a government meeting on Thursday.
According to him, deliveries were made to Georgia, Uzbekistan, the UAE, Iran, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Latvia, Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
The minister also announced the start of apricot exports.
"We have already exported 162 tons of apricots. The first deliveries were made yesterday – to Ukraine and Georgia," Papoyan said.
Restrictions on Products from Armenia to Russia
Effective June 12, 2026, Russia has restricted the import of all quarantine products originating and shipped from Armenia, as well as their transit through Russia to EAEU member states. Rosselkhoznadzor's restrictions specifically apply to Jermuk mineral water, alcoholic beverages, vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
The agency cited the "systematic detection of quarantine organisms" in plant products and flowers from Armenia as the reason. It is noted that the ban will remain in effect until a specific algorithm for ensuring the safety and traceability of shipped goods is developed.
