Earlier Report Observations

The Azerbaijani market for dried shelled lentils experienced considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. After rising from 6 724 t to a peak of 9 455 t in 2020, consumption plummeted by one-third the following year to 6 252 t. A strong recovery in 2022 brought volume back to 8 181 t, followed by stabilization at 8 349 t in 2023.

This fluctuation was driven primarily by changes in import volumes, which swung from 5 509 t to 8 654 t and then down to 5 564 t over the same period. Domestic production, in contrast, declined steadily from 1 221 t to 576 t, playing a diminishing role in supply.

Import flows continued to grow after 2023, reaching 8 263 t in 2024 and 9 746 t in 2025, while exports remained marginal except for a shipment of 342 t in the final year.
