YEREVAN, APRIL 17, NOYAN TAPAN. A joint venture for fish and crayfish
processing was set up in the capital of Latvia – Riga in January
2006. According to Hayk Mejlumian, Director of programs of the RA
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), the enterprise will start
operating until late 2006. He said that the European Union does
not yet allow to import fish products and processed crayfish from
Armenia into EU member states. However, it will become possible if
Armenian fish and crayfish are processed in Latvia, which is a EU
member state. In his words, it is envisaged that the Armenian-Latvian
enterprise will produce frozen, canned fish, as well as other processed
fish products. The enterprise plans to export its production to Sweden
and Finland.
