In the Eurasian Union, Armenia has received access to a broader market for agricultural products.
Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Member of the Board – Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the EEC—and former Prime Minister of Belarus—Sergei Sidorsky, on Tuesday told the aforesaid to reporters.
He noted this during Armenian capital city Yerevan session of the Chairmanship of the International Congress of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
“Before, Armenia’s vegetables and fruits in Russia and Belarus were primarily sold in markets; but now, you [i.e. Armenia] have received access to the large commercial networks; moreover, even to the most expensive [ones],” Sidorsky stressed. “Thanks to duty-free trade, the Eurasian Union has given you an advantage in more easily appearing in the largest networks. You have pushed off [i.e. replaced] many countries, the same Turkey, [and] you sell other products from the sanctions’ list. Is this not an advantage? We understand and welcome this.”
