YEREVAN, June 1. /ARKA/. Agricultural products produced in Armenia are competitive in quality on the European market, stated Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan.
"We produce products that 100% meet European quality standards," Papoyan noted in an interview with CivilNet.
According to him, goods exported from Armenia have already resolved the quality issue and are now at a high level.
"Currently, Armenia has greenhouse farms covering hundreds of hectares, where flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and strawberries are grown. These products have the Global G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practice) quality certificate—a certificate that many producers in the EAEU countries and even some farmers in Europe do not have," Papoyan said. The minister reported that Armenia currently produces flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and strawberries in greenhouses unmatched in many European countries.
"Our greenhouses are state-of-the-art and equipped with cutting-edge technology," Papoyan emphasized.
Effective May 30, 2026, Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) has imposed temporary restrictions on the import of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green vegetables, and strawberries originating in and originating in Armenia until an appropriate protocol for ensuring the safety of shipped products is developed.
