Azerbaijan’s Pomegranate Power Surge | Business and Finance News

Azerbaijan is turning heads in the global fruit market with its booming pomegranate industry, shipping over 48 million euros worth last year and rivaling Iran and Turkey. With 23,000 hectares dedicated to cultivation and 200+ varieties—including the prized Guloysha—Azerbaijan exports fresh fruit, juice, wine, and oil to 26 countries. Rooted in 2,000 years of cultural tradition symbolizing prosperity, the industry leverages EU-quality standards and regional proximity.
