Support A1+!

Butchers selling meat at the GUM (a market in the centre of Yerevan) say they sell 700-800 kg ham a day.

“People are already buying gammon and keeping it in the deep-freezer as they know that the price will shoot up at the turn of the year,” said butcher Arthur.

Note, a kilo of gammon is sold at 2700-3000 drams today. Butchers say the price will go up to 4000-5000 drams after December 15.

Mrs. Angela says she buys ham earlier as it is cheaper and of a better quality. Still there are many who prefer frozen ham as they are 300-500 drams cheaper.
