    The 0.3% increase of overall prices in the foodstuffs market in Armenia
    in Oct. 2011 as compared to the previous month is mainly due to the
    0.4% to 4.6% increase in meat products, dairy, sugar, fish products,
    eggs and confectionery.

    In 10 of the 13 food products that the RA National Statistical Service
    monitored this month, there was a 0.1-4.6% increase in prices, while
    in the other three products, there was 1.4-0.1% decrease.

    The state agency found a 8.2% price increase in confectionery products
    in Oct. 2011 as compared to the same month last year, and an increase
    of 4.6% as compared to the month before. This is said to be due to
    a 9.9% increase in the cost of caramel.

    The average price for eggs rose by 1.1% in Oct. 2011 as compared to
    last month.

    In terms of fish products, again prices rose, by 1.0% in Oct. 2011
    as compared to Sept. 2011 (said to be due to the 1.4% increase in
    the cost of a local breed of fish known as Ishkhan).

    Not as much, but still an increase in prices was noted for meat
    products: 0.4% increase this month as compared to last month.

    Though there were price increases for beef (0.7%), pelmeni dumplings
    (2.6%), basturma cured beef (3.5%) and good quality smoked sausage
    (8.9%), prices for pork and mutton dropped by 1.2% and 0.4%,
    respectively.

    In 10 cities surveyed in Armenia, the price of meat products rose by
    0.3-1.5% with the highest increase noted in Talin). In the capital,
    Yerevan, meat product prices rose by 0.3%.

    However, prices for fruit dropped by 9.7-1.4% in 7 of the cities
    surveyed (the most decrease being observed in Dilijan), while in the
    remaining 4 cities there was an increase of 0.5-7.3%.

    In the Armenian capital, prices for fruit in Oct. 2011 as compared
    to the previous month dropped by 1.4%.
