According to the press service of the Ministry of Economy of Armenia, the parties considered the prospects for developing trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.
Khojoyan presented the measures taken by the Armenian government to stimulate exports and emphasized the importance of expanding cooperation with the countries of the Persian Gulf. He also spoke about the country's potential in intensive horticulture and greenhouse farming.
Representatives of KV Group expressed interest in importing Armenian fresh produce.
The Ministry of Economy noted that they will visit Armenian horticultural and greenhouse farms to familiarize themselves with the products and export opportunities.
In light of Russian trade restrictions, the Armenian authorities have expanded support measures for exporters supplying products to European countries and Canada. There is also consideration of extending certain support measures to exports to the USA.
Currently, the government compensates transportation costs and customs duties for the supply of fruits, vegetables, and flowers to the EU, the UK, and Canada, and provides subsidies for the export of certain types of products.
