The Armenian Prime Minister visited the Armenia Vine company in the 
community, the government’s press service reported. He said the company sold its products to 14 countries – Russia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Baltic States, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, Mexico, Israel, China and Japan.
The company’s leaders told the Prime Minister that this year they will expand the geography of exports, also involving Sweden, Germany, Poland and Kazakhstan.
In 2017, the company recorded a significant increase in exports. In particular, exports in January-May are expected to increase by 33% over the previous year. As a result, the company intends to increase the purchase of grapes in autumn.
This year, the company will make serious investments in two important areas. In April, it installed exemplary vineyards on the territory adjacent to the winery, with modern vineyard systems to complete its vineyards in the province of Armavir. The company has invested 140 million drams ($ 289,200) in this project and 120 million drams (approximately $ 268,600) as part of a viticultural tourism development project.
The production capacity of the company will be 4 million bottles of wine, 1 million bottles of champagne and 3 million bottles of brandy. The plant employs 200 people.
