YEREVAN (YERKIR) – A concept of the National Strategic Program for
Export Promotion has been drafted on the initiative of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau and the party’s Armenia Supreme
Body, Armenpress reported.

Ara Nranian, ARF Bureau’s economic advisor, says the program was
drafted during a 1.5- year period and was sent to international and
local experts for consideration.

“We expect this concept to get the government’s approval and hope
a comprehensive program to boost export would be adopted based on
this document,” Nranian said, adding that economic growth rates in
Armenia are expected to shrink in the coming years since the domestic
resources for such growth are limited and the only way to keep the
country’s economy growing is to increase exports.

The document covers all the aspects of the export. One of the sectors
with great export potential is agriculture, Nranian says.
