Armenia`s flower exports record 2.3-fold increase in weight terms 

ArmInfo.  As of August 3, 2025, 1,217 tons of flowers were exported from Armenia, which is 2.3 times more than the figure for the previous year. This was written on his  Facebook page by Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan.

Considering that in certain cases, flower exports are declared in  quantitative terms, the head of the department also reported that 48  thousand flowers were exported from Armenia as of the reporting date,  which is 15% more than were exported in 2024.

This June, Rosselkhoznadzor sent a letter to the Food Safety  Inspectorate of Armenia demanding that it take comprehensive measures  and strengthen control over flowers supplied from Armenia to Russia,  given the increasing violations in the export of these products.

It was noted that it was necessary to import flowers to Russia that  only meet the standards of the EAEU, with an established  phytosanitary status without the presence of quarantine objects  included in the EAEU list, and with confirmed origin in  phytocertificates.

Then came temporary restrictions from the Rosselkhoznadzor on the  import of plant products from Armenia, which led to a crisis for  Armenian flower growers. Producers found themselves on the verge of  ruin and were forced to destroy their products. The latter turned to  the Ministry of Economy for help.  However, according to the flower  growers, a meeting with representatives of the department did not  bring any results. They demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister of  Armenia, but this request was also ignored. In view of the difficult  situation for the producers, they took other measures, holding  protests and blocking intra-republican roads with their flowers.

This was followed by negotiations between the supervisory authorities  of Armenia and Russia, as a result of which exports for some  producers resumed, and state bodies of Armenia began to actively  carry out phytosanitary work. However, Armenian flower growers remain  dissatisfied with the lack of broad government support, given the  requirement to bring greenhouses into compliance with certain  standards.
