Armenian government expands subsidies for exporters of goods subject  to import restrictions in Russia

ArmInfo. Armenian authorities have extended and expanded subsidies for exporters of goods subject to import restrictions in Russia. The corresponding  decision was made during a government meeting on July 2.

Specifically, as noted in the justification for the draft decision,  the export subsidy for 1 kg of strawberries has been maintained at  770 drams per kg, for tomatoes at 275 drams per kg, and for cherry  tomatoes at 400 drams per kg. Peppers will be 400 drams per kilogram,  flowers (one piece) will be 37 drams, and flowers exported to EU  countries, the UK, and Switzerland will be 50 drams. Compared to the  decision made in June, flower export subsidies have been increased.  Cherry tomatoes (a more expensive variety with a higher subsidy) have  also been added to the list. Subsidies for the export of fruit, wine,  mineral water, and fish will also be extended.

Apricot export subsidies will remain at 200 drams per kilogram,  peaches, plums, and nectarines will be 250 drams per kilogram, and  cherries will be 400 drams per kilogram. The wine export subsidy will  be 350 drams, fruit and berry wines will be 200 drams, and cognac  will be 830 drams per liter of 100% alcohol. The export subsidy for  mineral waters will be 150 drams per liter, dried fruit - 250 drams,  Sevan rainbow trout - 820 drams per kilogram, and sterlet - 1,350  drams per kilogram.

Unlike the June decision, a separate subsidy for fruit and berry wine  has been added.
