According to official data provided by experts from Russian Statistics, since the beginning of the current season about 43 thousand tons of apples from Azerbaijan has been supplied to Russia. This is 41% more than last year.
U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has also published its own study of the issue: according to the American experts, this year Azerbaijan has exported only about 50,000 tons of apples, which equals to last year indices. At the same time, given the increasing consumption of the fruits in the country, the import of apples to Azerbaijan has increased, too – up to 15 thousand tons per year.
