    CHAIRMAN OF ASSOCIATION OF CONSUMERS OF ARMENIA: STATE ASSISTANCE TO CATTLE BREEDING IN ARMENIA WILL MAKE COUNTRY LESS VULNERABLE TO IMPORTED POOR-QUALITY MEAT

    ArmInfo. Government assistance to cattle breeding in Armenia will make
    the country less vulnerable to the imported poor-quality meat, says
    Armen Poghosyan, Chairman of the Association of Consumers of Armenia.

    On August 19 the government hosted discussions on the results of the
    visit by the official delegation of Armenia to India. The delegation
    got first hand view of the buffalo meat imported from India for
    production of sausages in Armenia. The visited registered high
    inconformity of the buffalo meat with quality standards. A. Poghosyan
    was surprised that representatives of the Food Safety and Veterinary
    Department of the Agricultural Ministry did not express their opinion
    during the above discussions. He is sure that government's support to
    farming economies through subsidies, preferential loans and methodical
    assistance would be more effective solution to the problem. If the
    government introduces up- to-date methods of cattle production and
    make it competitive, local producers of meat-products will import
    less low-quality and cheap meat, Pogosyan says.

    Statistical data say that in 1980s cattle production in Armenia was
    little more than 770,000, in 2005 - 565.8 thousand, and in 20078 -
    629.1 thousand.
