The 8th Armprodexpo-2008 international food exhibition launched in Armenia today.

YEREVAN, November 11. /ARKA/. The 8th Armprodexpo-2008 international food exhibition launched in Armenia today.

“The exhibition is very impressive, sectors with big prospects for export are of great interest,” the RA Premier told reporters after examining all exhibition halls.

The exhibition is organized by the RA Ministry of Agriculture, Foreign Ministry, Yerevan Municipality, Armenia’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Agrobusiness Development Centre CJSC.

According to Sargsyan a field of agreement must be created with developed countries to facilitate exports of the goods of small and medium businesses.

“The Government must assist and create a corresponding organization to specialize in exports,” he stressed and noted the Government must also contribute to speeding up the process of certification.

The Premier stated he talked with representatives of all companies and organizations introduced at the exhibition to get the picture of the year of 2008 and plans for 2009.

“All producers said they registered 15-25% increase and very optimistic about next year. I was amazed to learn the producers intend to increase their indicators by 60-80% next year and it makes me glad,” stressed Sargsyan.

The RA Minister of Agriculture Aramayis Grigoryan said the exhibition introduces the leading domestic producers and small and medium businesses in the food sector and enables them to introduce the range of their products.

“Armenian producers may take the opportunity to conclude mutually beneficial agreements with foreign companies as some producers introduced at the expo are from the CIS countries, specifically from Belarus, and developed capitalist countries, namely Germany and Austria, offering technologies to produce juices which are very needed in Armenia,” said minister Grigoryan.

Minister also noted the exhibition differs from other similar events as it will be followed by tasting the introduced products.

The exhibition which will last until November 14, introduces some 60 processing industries, local and foreign commercial organizations, advertising agencies and mass media. G. S. –0--
