The agricultural policy must be changed

Recently, the Azerbaijani Food Safety Agency of Azerbaijan imposed restrictions on the import of small cattle from Georgia.

Unfortunately, in Azerbaijan, products grown in buried soil are offered to consumers at a high price. Our research shows that tomatoes are sold 2-3 times more expensive in Azerbaijani markets in autumn, winter and spring than in neighboring countries.

A message distributed by the SSC reads that  in March 2024, the consumer price index for food, beverages and tobacco products in Azerbaijan amounted to 100.4% compared to the previous month, including 100.5% for food products.

"According to the results of statistical observation organized by the State Statistics Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in 2023, 4550.0 tons of honey, 172.7 tons of wax, 14.9 tons of propolis, 8.9 tons of perga and 281.1 kg of bee milk were obtained from 597.3 thousand bee colonies in 30,802 farms.
