Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce the expert committee announced
the list of 31 winners bestowed with the title of recognized Estonian
product. According to Armenian Portal in Estonia, in the nomination of
meat products Armenian shashlik was acknowledged the best product of

by the plant has increased three times during the recent 3 years.
