ArmInfo. Armenia and Russia discussed issues of ensuring food security. Head of the Armenian Economic Department Vahan Kerobyan announced on his Facebook page, following a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Dmitry Petrushev. The interlocutors discussed the possibility of increasing the turnover of agricultural products and food products.
It should be noted that the lion's share of Armenian agricultural products is traditionally supplied to the Russian market.
Meanwhile, as economist Karlen Khachatryan previously stated, no concrete steps are being taken in Armenia on the issue of food security. As an example, he recalled that a significant amount of wheat is supplied to the Armenian market from Russia, and corn - from Ukraine. Khachatryan drew attention to the fact that there will be problems with the transportation of these products in military conditions. In addition, these states will be faced with the task of ensuring domestic consumption in the first place, and only then thinking about supplies to other countries. Khachatryan noted that objectively, this cannot but cause concern.
