The Azexport.az e-portal, operated by the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication of Azerbaijan (CAERC), is boosting the export of Azerbaijani products to the US, AzVision.az reports.
The e-portal played a matchmaker between US companies and Azerbaijani producers to grease the wheels for this surge in exports.
Currently, the portal is pulling out all the stops to support the export of Azerbaijani agricultural products and a whole bunch of confectioneries to the US market. To cast a wider net and bring home the bacon, the existing partnership has kicked it up a notch.
Last week, at Azexport's invitation, a representative from several US importing companies visited Baku. The representative toured over 15 production and processing facilities in Azerbaijan.
The meetings focused on companies in the confectionery sector (including cakes, eclairs, wafers, and cookies), as well as those involved in mineral water, soft drinks, fruit juices, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, spices, and dried fruits.
During the visit, the potential for establishing a production facility in Azerbaijan for export-oriented products, funded by foreign investments, was also explored. It is anticipated that, in the future, the importing company will produce its products in Azerbaijan for the US market.
