Agricultural products account for one third of Azerbaijan’s export
Some 31.9 percent of goods exported by Azerbaijan fell on agricultural products in the first nine months of 2016, the country’s Deputy Minister of Agriculture Seyfaddin Talibov said.
He made the remarks Oct. 19 in Baku at the conference “Non-oil exports: today`s challenges and opportunities.”

He said that about 90 percent of agricultural products of Azerbaijan is exported to Russia.

“Despite the fact that the price of our agricultural products sold in Russia is above the average index for the market, they are of high quality,” Talibov said.

The deputy minister noted that if in 2010, only 31 percent accounted for fruits and vegetables in the export of agricultural products, currently this figure has reached 80-90 percent.
