  A thorough examination of the structure, production trends, and export capacity of Armenia’s wine sector, identifying key vulnerabilities and opportunities under pandemic conditions.

• Export Market Review:
  Analysis of Armenia’s primary wine export destinations over the past two years, focusing on changes in trade volumes, market access, and logistical disruptions.
