Imports increased year-on-year by 12.9% in 2010, 10.6% in 2011, 2.8% in 2012, 2.9% in 2013 and 0.4% in 2014. From 2010 to 2014, the value of imports of goods increased by 17.4% from U.S.$3,749.0 million in 2010 to U.S.$4,401.6 million in 2014, driven in large part by an increase in the import value of mineral products (24.6%), precious stones and metals (90.6%), prepared foodstuffs (19.8%) and chemical products (29.0% ). Partially offsetting this increase in the overall value of imports were an 8.0% decline in machinery and equipment imports and a 10.8% decline in base metals imports.
Exports
Armenia’s exports are primarily comprised of mineral products, such as copper and electricity, base metals, such as copper ore and ferro-molybdenum, food products (including fruit juices, wines and brandy) and precious stones and metals.
