Azerbaijan has a long tradition in the production and trade of fruits and vegetables and is one of the historical suppliers to the Russian Federation, but in recent years, the number of countries to which fruits and vegetables are exported has increased.
"For example," explains Azpromo, "fresh fruit is shipped to Russia, Canada, Belarus, the United States, and Georgia, while there is excellent sales of apple juice in Kazakhstan. Almost all types of fruits and vegetables are available: stone fruits, pome fruits, hazelnuts, pomegranates, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Azerbaijani exported vegetables, especially tomatoes and cucumbers, are well known in the CIS countries and are particularly appreciated for their taste."
At the next edition of Macfrut (Rimini, May 8-10, 2024), Azerbaijan will be present with a delegation of about ten companies visiting during the three-day trade fair. At the same time, a large group of companies will also be present as exhibitors in collaboration with Azpromo.
"The Agency for the Promotion of Exports and Investments of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Azpromo," specifies, "supports companies operating in various sectors of the country. In total, it serves about 125 companies. Our support fosters economic growth, promotes exports, and attracts investments. Overall, Azpromo plays a crucial role in supporting the development and expansion of businesses in Azerbaijan, contributing to the country's economic diversification and sustainable growth."
"With the support of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the organization of Azpromo, our companies will participate in the Macfrut fair with a single national booth. The main goal of participating in the fair is to organize bilateral meetings to promote our local products in the market in question and create possible cooperation relationships between entrepreneurs of the two countries."
The following Azerbaijani companies whose participation in the exhibition is confirmed are Fresh Group, Azzafaran-Azsaffron, Balkhurma, Gurbanov Iskander Rasim, Absheron Olive Garden, The Best Choice, and Ismikhanli.
