"Larry" cheesemakers' union is
a non-profit organization, which was founded in 2001 to contribute
to cheese production in Armenia, particularly to small and average
enterprises. The organization works on the benefit of its members.
Currently the union consists of eleven members, which have cheese
producing factories in the regions of Armenia and regarded as the
best in the territory. "Larry" cheesemakers' union regularly
provides its members with the necessary supplies, the most part
of which is imported from abroad. So far union member cheesemakers
have been provided with buckets, boxes, cheese packing bags, latex
at comparatively low prices, which was possible with the assistance
of the USDA MAP (United States Department of Agriculture Marketing
Assistance Project).
The union coordinates exportation of cheese products. It
establishes contacts with foreign partners-importers, controls the
preparatory works.
For legislative reforms the union negotiated with the Ministry
of State Incomes and fostered rise in the utmost volume of the Simplified
tax. (On December 26, 2002 The National Assembly accepted an amendment
concerning money circulation, which resulted in the rise of the
utmost volume of the simplified tax from 30 million AMD to 50 million
AMD).
The union makes marketing investigations in home market,
provides all the necessary information concerning changes in home
and foreign markets, assists in searching new partners and commodity
markets.
The skilled personnel gives consultations to union members on various
questions about sanitary-hygienic state of the factories
and provides them with methodological manuals.
