YEREVAN, July 2. /ARKA/. The Armenian government has extended the state support program for the export of certain products through July and expanded the list of goods eligible for compensation.
According to the decision, compensation will be provided to exporters of fresh fruits, certain food products, and beverages exported from Armenia during July 2026.
New categories have been added to the list of subsidized products: dried fruits and vegetables, as well as trout and sturgeon.
The compensation amount will be:
200 drams per 1 kg of apricots;
250 drams per 1 kg of plums, peaches, and nectarines;
400 drams per 1 kg of cherries;
350 drams per 1 liter of bottled grape wine;
200 drams per liter of bottled fruit and berry wine;
830 drams per liter of absolute bottled brandy;
150 drams per liter of bottled mineral water;
250 drams per 1 kg of dried fruits and vegetables;
820 drams per 1 kg of trout;
1350 drams per 1 kg of sturgeon.
The program is aimed at supporting Armenian exporters and stimulating foreign supplies of domestic products. The new amendments allow for the extension of state aid to additional types of goods exported in July of this year.
Restrictions on products from Armenia to the Russian Federation
Starting June 12, 2026, Russia has restricted the import of all quarantine products originating in and shipped from Armenia, as well as their transit through the Russian Federation to EAEU member states. Rosselkhoznadzor's restrictions apply to, among other things, 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.
On support for exporters in Armenia
Against the backdrop of Russian trade restrictions, Armenia has expanded its support measures for exporters, particularly to EU countries. The government is compensating transportation costs and customs duties on shipments of fruits, vegetables, and flowers to the EU, the UK, and Canada, and is also providing subsidies for a number of export goods.
