YEREVAN, May 5. / ARKA /. Prices of products purchased from the farmers should be determined when contracts with processing companies are concluded, President Serzh Sargsyan said Thursday during a meeting with top managers of processing companies, Sargsyan’s press office reported.
"It is unacceptable when processing companies sign contracts with farmers, and then, depending on the situation, the amount of harvest and so on, they start negotiating prices," said the president.
According to the president, another strange picture is observed when prices of agricultural goods in two adjacent areas are different.
"I think it's wrong. In my opinion, the best approach is one when signing contracts, it is clear to people what price they will get for their products, "said Sargsyan.
According to him, if not this, then next year, it is necessary that all economic entities are able to give their preliminary estimates about how much of crops they could buy and conclude contracts with that in mind.
He noted also that the number of processing companies is gradually increasing along with rising demand.
"Your mission is to stimulate increased production of agricultural products not only for processing at canneries and making profits, but also because increased agricultural output will have a significant impact on inflation,"- said Sargsyan. -0-
