Even though many businessmen involved in producing fish in lake industries of Armenia want to export their products to the Russian market, they cannot do that. Since many of them do not understand the reason of being rejected, still it is necessary to inform them that the cooperation between ‘Rosselkhoznadzor’ and the State Service for Food Safety of the RA Ministry of Agriculture with regard to ensuring the safety of fish, fish products and marine products is regulated by the memorandum signed on 15.12.2010. According to the indicated document fish, fish products and marine products can be exported to the RF exclusively by those companies, which are on the list certified by ‘Rosselkhoznadzor’. The indicated service does not possess information as to which companies are on the list, since it does not realize registration of the companies included in that list.

Many fish producers will get interested how and on which basis the indicated list was made. It turns up that in 2009 the ‘Rosselkhoznadzor’ specialists visited the RA in order to evaluate and the functioning mechanism of protecting the security of bio-resources and examine the procedure of processing the fisheries and fish products. As a result of that examination the water resources, including fish and crayfish, 22 Armenian companies were accredited to export their products to the RF, as well as 2 companies by the reference of the RA veterinary service.

A similar list exists also with respect to the exporters of diary and other products of animal origin from the RA to the RF. In accordance with the guarantees provided by the relevant RA bodies with respect to meeting the Russian veterinary and phytosanitary requirements of diary and other products of animal origin by Armenian producers, the ‘Rosslekhoznadzor’ confirmed the list of diary and other products of animal origin producers list, where 43 Armenian companies are included, which were later accredited. The indicated list can be changed and new companies can be added in case of submitting applications.

The products distribution is done via air and road transport (in sealed containers) with the right of transit through the territory of Iran, without the right of handling, storage and return and afterwards to the Russian ports of the Caspian Sea by marine transport.

It was allowed since October 1, 2009 to transport from Armenia to the RF milk and diary products that underwent prior thermal processing, through the territory of Georgia (by the Poti-Novorossiysk ports), without the right of handling, storage and return in that country and under the condition of processing the transport (containers) by disinfectants.
