BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 21. The volume of pomegranate exports from Azerbaijan to foreign markets has increased by 37.7 percent from January through July 2025.
Data obtained by Trend from the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan indicates that pomegranate holds a special place among the country’s agricultural exports, and its export growth continues to accelerate.
Furthermore, Azerbaijan's export metrics indicate a throughput
of 5,027 tons of pomegranates, generating a revenue stream of $4.3
million during the specified reporting timeframe. This reflects a
substantial uptick of 37.7 percent in volumetric output and a 31.7
percent enhancement in fiscal valuation relative to the
corresponding period of the previous year.
The ministry indicated that the robust proliferation of pomegranate
orchards within the national framework is underpinned by
state-sponsored subsidies.
“High-density pomegranate cultivation is established on discrete
parcels within the Karabakh, East Zangezur, Central Aran,
Mil-Mugan, Shirvan-Salyan, Ganja-Dashkasan, and Mountain Shirvan
economic zones, encompassing no less than three hectares and
incorporating a baseline of 650 saplings per hectare.”
In alignment with the resolution issued by the Agrarian Subsidies
Council, a fiscal incentive amounting to 3,000 manat ($1,764) is
allocated by the state for every hectare of intensive pomegranate
orchards instituted between September 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025,”
the ministry articulated.
