Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for melons and papayas in Azerbaijan rose from 403 thousand tons in 2018 to 444 thousand tons in 2019, primarily due to increasing consumer preference for fresh and healthy foods. This shift in dietary habits boosted demand for fresh fruits and vegetables across the country.

Growth stabilized in 2020 at 444.4 thousand tons as global supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic affected trade flows. However, the simultaneous expansion of local agricultural enterprises helped sustain domestic production. State support for agriculture and the opening of new processing facilities then drove further growth, with the market reaching 454.7 thousand tons by 2022.

By 2023, the market volume had decreased to 424.6 thousand tons. This followed the introduction of new packaging and labeling rules aimed at raising quality standards, while higher energy and logistics costs also affected market conditions.
