Experts from EastFruit highlight a series of events that are negatively impacting Armenia's ability to export fruits, vegetables, and other goods. These events coincide with deteriorating relations between Armenia and Russia, which the Armenian leadership blames for not fulfilling obligations regarding Karabakh. One of these events is unexpected road repairs during winter on Upper Lars, the main route for delivering goods from Armenia to Russia, forcing Armenia to consider a more expensive and politically sensitive alternative route through Azerbaijan. Additionally, North Ossetia, under Russian control, has discovered dangerous viruses in tomatoes from Armenia, potentially leading to a ban on product supply.
