Armenian fish industry gains access to European market

ArmInfo. The Armenian fish industry has gained access to the European market, as reported by the  press service of the EU delegation to Armenia.

"Exciting news for Armenia's fish industry!  As of 16 March 2025,  Armenia is officially entitled to start exporting to the EU Member  states high-quality aquaculture finfish and finfish products (caviar  and roes), in line with the newly adopted COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING  REGULATION (EU) 2025/354, provided that the establishments are listed  in TRACES.  Even though Armenia is a landlocked country, it boasts a  well-developed fish farming sector, closely monitored by the Food  Safety Inspection body. Thanks to diligent efforts of the latter,  along with the efforts from colleagues at DG SANTE of the European  Commission, the technical procedure leading to this authorisation,  which lasted a few years, has come to a successful fruition.  This  milestone marks a significant step in Armenia's journey towards  economic diversification, opening up new opportunities for growth and  collaboration on a global scale," the statement says.
