On February 24, 2026, a meeting was held to conclude the project
“Support for agricultural development in Dashkasan and Goygol
districts,” initiated by AzerGold CJSC with the support of the
Agricultural Services Agency (ASA) under the Ministry of
Agriculture. The event was attended by agency heads,
representatives of local executive authorities, local community
members, and farmers.
Khayyam Farzaliyev, Member of the Board and Deputy Chairman of
AzerGold CJSC and Chairman of the Corporate Social Responsibility
Committee, Sardar Hajiyev, Chairman of ASA and the Heads of the
Dashkasan and Goygol region Executive Powers, Orkhan Abbasov and
Vugar Novruzov, respectively, delivered speeches discussing the
importance of the project and presented its key results.
It was noted that, based on scientific analysis of animal,
plant, soil, and water samples, AzerGold’s mining and production
activities have no recorded negative impact on nature, soil, or
crop productivity. Agro-chemical analyses determined that local
water sources are fully suitable for irrigation. Furthermore,
veterinary screenings found no presence of particularly dangerous
diseases among livestock.
Regarding plant protection, monitoring was conducted across 213
farms, pests were identified, and individual recommendations were
provided to farmers. Besides, 37 training sessions were organized,
helping participants enhance their agricultural knowledge and
skills.
The project, which began last year, covered the settlements of
Shadakh, Bayan, Gushchu, Chovdar, and Chaykend in Dashkasan, as
well as Tullallar and Zurnabad in Goygol district. The main
objective of this initiative was to increase productivity in
livestock and crop farming, organize agricultural activities in
line with environmental requirements, and provide science-based
support to local farms.
