In 2015, imports of beef, lamb, pork and goat meat in Azerbaijan increased by 14.3%. At the same time the import of this product line in terms of value grew by only 12.9%, according to the State Customs Committee.
Imported meat is issued at a price of $ 2.10 per 1 kg, which is $ 0.03 more than in 2014.
In 2015, 2,647.6 tons of meat was delivered from India and 1,310 tons from Ukraine. Indian meat is used mainly in fast-food outlets, and Ukrainian meat – at McDonalds.
Last year, Azerbaijan imported 71.8 thousand head of cattle and sheep and goats. This is 120,000 less than in 2014. The import was spent $ 45 million. It is surprising that despite the sharp reduction in the number of livestock, their purchase costs abroad decreased by only $ 2.2 million.
In 2015, purchased abroad were 12,670 head of pedigree cattle. From Germany, 5,190 head were delivered, from Austria – 1,499, from Hungary - 907, and from Russia – 4,252. European cows are purchased for about $ 3,000, and Russian cows – for $ 1,125. ----08B
