There is also good news amid the economic crisis caused by Covid. For example, in 2020 Exports of strawberry-blackberry-currant products from Armenia increased by 166% in January-July. Products worth $ 5.5 million were exported.
The RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"The important nuance here is that the exported products are mainly produced in greenhouses. In other words, on the one hand, we are dealing with the development of greenhouses, on the other hand, the crop produced here does not depend on weather conditions, and as I had the opportunity to mention, the farmer is not waiting for how much crop there will be this year. Farmer is planning how much needs it and produces just that much.
By the same logic, exports of mushrooms-pumpkin-spinach increased by 62%, Products worth $ 3.2 million were exported. Flower exports also increased by 16.9%. Products worth $ 3.9 million were exported.
Tomatoes are still the most exportable greenhouse product. In January-July, exports increased by 18.5% and $ 23.5 million worth of products were exported", the PM wrote.
