In 2013 Spayka LLC started exporting young potatoes and beet from Armenia to the CIS, Karen Baghdasaryan, Head of the Project Management Division of Spayka LLC, said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
He said that potato export from Armenia is not so profitable. "For instance, our company's profit from the export of 1 kg of potatoes is only 2-3 AMD, however, we have started exporting potatoes to prevent the market from glutting. As of 19 June, 3 thsd tons were exported for 60-80 AMD per kg of old potatoes and 100-120 AMD per kg of young potatoes", he said.
He added that unlike other exporters, Spayka LLC has no problems with the quarantine policy in Georgia. Before exporting the products, the company examines the products and only after that it starts the procurement and export processes.
