In a recent statement, Chairman of the Association of Producers and Exporters of Pomegranate, Farhad Garashov, said that Poland and France have joined the list of countries that import Azerbaijan’s most famous fruit: pomegranates.
"This year we have access to two new markets - Poland and France. In the regions, trainings are regularly held with the participation of invited experts, including foreign ones, on the pomegranate production, including innovative methods of packaging, certification, harvesting and pest control. Of course, all this work has an impact on the overall growth of production.”
Despite entering these new markets, Azerbaijani pomegranates are still exported mainly to the CIS countries, but the production and export of pomegranate in Azerbaijan is growing every year, as well as the number of innovations, educational events and trainings in this field.
"Our goal is to work with existing varieties of pomegranate, restore those varieties that were destroyed in the past, and improve the quality of existing delicious varieties, increase our export potential by promoting pest control, proper watering and proper pruning," Garashov told azernews.az.
