Vegetable prices rise sharply in Azerbaijan

Vegetable prices in Azerbaijan, including tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, have risen sharply recently. Farmers attribute the price increase to the sharp rise in the cost of fertilizers and nitrates due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, in addition to this, there is an artificial increase in prices due to backroom deals between entrepreneurs.

The poor storage conditions for some products also contribute to the problem, leading to a lot of waste. Additionally, there has been a decrease in the production of potatoes, and the country has become dependent on imports, which also affects the price. As a result, vegetable prices are almost the same in all stores.

To address the problem of rising vegetable prices in Azerbaijan, experts suggest developing competition in the agricultural sector, improving storage and transportation conditions, and implementing new technologies to increase efficiency. It is also necessary to take measures to combat the monopoly in the production and sale of agricultural products.
