ANTI-TRUST BODY QUESTIONS STATISTICS OF MACARONI
IMPORTERS AND PRODUCERS
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS: A state anti-trust
body has questioned the statistics of some local
companies dealing with production and import of
macaroni. The state commission on protection of
economic competition said yesterday it did not believe
that every Armenian consumed last year only 1.8 kg of
macaroni products, as claimed by these companies.
The chairman of the commission, Ashot Shahnazarian,
said according to figures, registered several years
ago, each Armenian consumed at least 5 kg of only
domestically made macaroni let alone the imported
ones. Shahnazarian said the commission will ask the
state customs service to give its explanations.
According to this statistic, 32 percent of all
imported macaronis came last year from Italy, Russia
accounted for 54 percent and other countries for 14
percent. Overall 3,316 tons of macaroni were brought
from other countries and 2,781 tons were produced
locally. The biggest seller of macaroni was a joint
Armenian-American company called AAFPC which accounted
for 30 percent of sales of all imported and home-made
macaroni.
