YEREVAN, June 15. /ARKA/. The Armenian government discussed current trends in exports and further steps for their development, the press service of the Armenian government reported.
At a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, data on the volume of agricultural and other exports was presented, as well as measures being implemented to diversify export destinations.
Meeting participants reviewed the progress of export support programs to the European Union and other countries, existing assistance instruments, and measures to support farms.
Pashinyan emphasized the need for ongoing engagement with producers to improve export promotion programs, identify problems, and find solutions.
The prime minister also noted the importance of consistent steps to diversify the economy and close cooperation between the public and private sectors.
It was previously reported that the Armenian Ministry of Economy has developed programs to support the export of local products to the EU and the Middle East. These include compensation for transportation costs, customs duties, and, in some cases, expenses related to intellectual property (IP).
On Russian restrictions
Starting June 12, 2026, Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) has restricted the import of all quarantine products originating and shipped from Armenia, as well as their transit through Russia to EAEU member states. 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.
