Sausage for 50 million manatas

Baku/16.12.13/Turan : According to official statistics, sausage production in Azerbaijan declined. However, monitoring trade network and an extensive advertising campaign on local television producers give reason to suggest otherwise . Analysis of import of raw materials and auxiliary materials for the production of sausages shows that its producers harbor tax production at least 50 bn a year. Agency Turan come to this conclusion in his study.

According to the State Statistics Committee data for 11 months of this year, enterprises operating as a legal entity made ​​1 620.3 tons of sausage and sausage products. This is in comparison to the same period in 2012 decreased by 11.7%. It is interesting that none of the country's producers of meat products does not provide information about the annual production capacity , and do not respond to questions about it.

To understand the reasons for hiding this information is not so difficult . According to the State Statistics Committee, in 2012 the production of sausages in Azerbaijan increased from 2.4 tons to 4 tons, is subject to manufacturers engaged in entrepreneurial activities as individuals. Rate factors behind such a sharp increase in the volume of production, is not easy. The fact that private information about the manufacturer, be considered confidential. For this reason, the possibility of using only the State Statistics Committee, which is based on data from regional offices.

According to statistics, in 2012 the enterprises Baku produced 844.8 tons. Production instead of increasing, as compared with the previous year decreased by 102.3 tons, ie by 8.1 %. In comparison with 2006, sausage manufacturers Baku announced a reduction of 40 % of the supply of its products to state structures . Enterprises of Absheron district last year was put on the market in excess of 600 tons. This is 28.5% more than in 2011. On the other hand, this indicates that the local producers of sausages were not as strong, easy performance of 2006 were more than 24%. It should be stressed that according to official statistics, in 2008-2010, local manufacturers have been able to put on the market 2.1 thousand ton of sausages and frankfurters. In those years, the imported products almost exceed local. In 2009 even exceeded 36%. Acting chairman since 2009 of the public association "Manufacturers of meat and meat products" Fuad Gulubekov was unable to provide any information about Turan volume of products marketed by the producers of sausages in general across the country, as well as six companies belonging to the association Fuad Gulubekov many years headed the Veterinary Administration of Baku and has not, in other words, information about the producers of sausage.

Note that the largest producers of sausages and frankfurters in the country (Zahmet Ruzi, Sehliyali, Orkhan-SS, Hakan Foods, Flagman, etc.) operate on the territory of Absheron. Some of these companies are sponsors of many popular television programs, whose budget is not so small. The companies confirmed the presence of fierce market competition .

Production of sausages and sausages in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with a population of about 400 thousand people (unofficially no more than 200 thousand people) is surprising in a positive sense in comparison with the production of these products throughout the country. In HAP 2008 annual production volumes increased in 2012 were brought to 1274 tonnes, of which 25.7 tons accounted for by companies , and the rest is produced by individuals.

Compare for yourself: one-third, ie 31.8 % of all produced nationally sausages and sausages falls on this region. However, established in Nakhchivan economic and customs regime dictates the population use mainly local produce, that is does not allow choice. However, if we consider that in 2012, Azerbaijan has not been imported are not a large number of sausages, just 660.3 tonnes, we can confirm that the production volume in Nakhchivan as opposed to the center, not so far from the truth .

Meats in NAR produced under the following brands - "MM kolbasa", "Bereket kolbasa" and "Hilal kolbasa". NAR sources report that the control is arranged in the production process at higher levels than in the center. As a result of growing and consumer confidence in the product, which in turn has a positive effect on output .

Manufacturers in Baku, Absheron and other regions assure consumers that their products meet the requirements of Islam in the area of ​​nutrition and meets the standards of "Halal". However, in this case, the question arises as to what purpose the country was imported pork fat in the following amounts: in 2009, 862.3 tons ( customs value - $ 607.8 thousand), in 2010, 715 tons ( $ 809 thousand and in 2012, 777 tons ( $ 851.1 million).

Experts believe that pork fat used in food only in the production of sausages. One might add that pork imports measured large numbers ( in 2012 imports amounted to 415 tons) . Thereby we do not claim that customers under the guise of " halal " are sold sausages, to which pork or pork fat is added . In fact, these figures shed light on the actual volume of production in the country.

Another proof indicating concealment of production volumes in the country sausage is information on importing artificial skin, necessary for the manufacture of sausages. This peel is made of hardened proteins and cellulosic materials. In 2012, the country imported 107.6 tons of such products. Easy to calculate that kind of stuff can go on to greater production than 4 tons of sausage.

According to official sources, in Azerbaijan per year per capita is 0.6 kg of sausage, and 0.9 kg of sausages and wieners. In the year it makes about 14 thousand tons. We mentioned above that in 2012 the total volume of domestic production and imports of 4.6 tons. Thus, the official confirms that tax withheld from the portion of sausage products and sausages is about 9.5 tons, which exceeds 50 million manat per year.--08A--
