BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 25. The total volume of
agricultural production in 2025 amounted to 14 billion manat ($8.2
billion), Azerbaijan's Minister of Agriculture Majnun Mammadov said
at a meeting on agricultural issues chaired by President Ilham
Aliyev, Trend
reports.
The minister emphasized that this output is distributed almost
equally between the two sectors, livestock and crop production.
“This gives us reason to consider that both areas play an
important role in the development of the country’s agricultural
sector, and to set our priorities accordingly. Overall, in the
agricultural sector, fruit and vegetable production accounts for a
significant share of output; in crop production, legumes and
potatoes; and in livestock production, milk, beef, poultry, lamb,
and eggs. Fruit and vegetable production contributes to both
increased employment in the country and the creation of added value
in agricultural production, as well as to the enhancement of export
potential. Although legume production has lower economic efficiency
compared to other crop products, it is of great importance in terms
of food security and therefore remains one of our priority areas.
“The share of milk and meat production in the agricultural sector
is quite high. This gives us reason to focus on priority areas for
the development of livestock farming within the framework of the
new State Program,” Mammadov noted.
