/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Decrease of meat prices in Armenia is expected
in June-July, not in May, said Hrachya Berberyan, chairman of
Agrarian-Peasant Union of Armenia.
According to him, the market dictates its own conditions, and "it's
not a secret that livestock production has decreased by 10% minimum".
"Should livestock yield increase, it'll lead to a 10% cut in meat
prices," he said.
Earlier, Mr. Berberyan stated that the rise in mutton prices in 2009
is explained by increase of export. "Mutton prices range from AMD 3000
to AMD 4000 per kg, while the pork prices dropped, ranging from AMD
3000-3500 to AMD 2000-2500 due to the current restoration of pigstry.
Increase of beef prices is not significant and related to the increase
of fuel costs," he said.
Agrarian-Peasant Union NGO, incorporating farms and agricultural
enterprises, was founded in 1996. The union collaborates with state
structures and international organizations. It aims to develop
agriculture in Armenia though tutoring, technical assistance and
strategic studies. Presently the Union lists 32000 members.
