Armenia's agricultural exports now reach a broad range of markets, from Iraq and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) to Poland, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Central Asia, and Western countries, Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan said during the government meeting.

"We should also acknowledge that the worst-case scenarios we initially anticipated have not materialized. In fact, we are exporting quite successfully and should continue this work," Papoyan said, according to 1lurer.am .

He added that discussions are also underway on exporting Armenian products to the Netherlands and Belgium.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted that there had been indications of falling prices in parts of the market, while at the same time reports suggested that the prices of apricots, cherries, and strawberries had increased.

Papoyan said that between June 1 and June 25, 2026, Armenia exported 1,071 tons of apricots, about 90% of which were shipped during the past week as the harvest had only recently begun. He added that exports also included 882 tons of cherries, around 40 tons of small sweet apples, 100 tons of mulberries, figs, currants and blackberries, 87 tons of strawberries and raspberries, and 140 tons of tomatoes.

Pashinyan remarked that figures alone do not provide a complete picture and said an overall assessment of the situation was more important, asking whether there were any sectors experiencing significant pressure or crisis.

In response, Papoyan said noticeable price declines had been recorded in only two areas.

"It has been flowers, which we already knew about, and tomatoes. In the remaining sectors there has been no significant price decline, and the harvest is either fully sold on the domestic market or exported. Tomatoes are also being sold, but prices have fallen," he said.

Pashinyan noted that such a development had been anticipated, as support programs for greenhouse tomato producers were expected to help stimulate sales.

The prime minister also observed that strawberries were selling at an unusually high price.

"Strawberries are priced unusually high," he said.

Russia has imposed restrictions on imports of Armenian products. These include bans on imports of Jermuk mineral water, flowers and certain alcoholic beverages. Restrictions have also been applied to several agricultural products, including tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries. Since June 2, Russia has restricted the import and transit to other Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states of cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, grapes and other stone fruits from Armenia. Since June 3, Russia has also restricted imports of eggplants, potatoes and dried fruits originating from Armenia.
