Gerasim Alaverdyan: prices for fruits and vegetables to go down in a week

Armenian Minister of Agriculture Gerasim Alaverdyan promised that prices for fruits and vegetables will go down in a week.

The Minister explained the high prices by unfavorable weather conditions, which delayed the harvest by 25-30 days.

“The crops from fields have not been reaped yet, so hothouse or imported fruits and vegetables are being sold now,” he said.
