The government will soon make a decision according to which the state will pay for the costs of slaughterhouse services, and control mechanisms will also be introduced. This was announced by the Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Gevorg Papoyan.
According to him, the state has created mechanisms that allow solving this problem practically without costs. Papoyan explained that there is a leasing program in Armenia, and the Government fully subsidizes the leasing interest when purchasing mobile slaughterhouses, and also reimburses 80% of the advance payment.
He reminded that slaughtering an animal in a slaughterhouse for personal use of meat is not mandatory. Papoyan assured that the food safety level of lamb meat is above the established norms, for beef - above average, for pork - below the established norms.
The Minister reported that a program to support large farms is being implemented, through which the government subsidizes capital expenditures by 40%, and 7-8 major programs are being implemented in this direction.
