Restrictions on the supply of Armenian products to Russia
Armenia is expanding its export geography amid restrictions imposed by Russia on certain types of Armenian products.
The Russian side attributes these measures to violations of phytosanitary requirements. Since May 2026, Russia's restrictions have included flowers, mineral water, certain types of beverages and alcoholic beverages, vegetables, fruits, berries, grapes, potatoes, dried fruits, and later, live fish and fish products, as well as dairy products.
The restrictive measures also apply to the transit of products of Armenian origin through Russia to other EAEU countries.
On September 8, RA Deputy Minister of Economy Tigran Gasparyan announced that Armenia had filed a complaint within the EAEU regarding the restrictions imposed by Russia on Armenian products. He stated that Yerevan hopes that the existing mechanisms of the union will help remove the existing obstacles.
Gasparyan stated that, according to the Armenian side, the current restrictions are not consistent with the agreements and principles of the EAEU.
