Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the potato market in Azerbaijan expanded from 984,000 tonnes to 1,139,000 tonnes. This growth was supported by the rapid development of the seed potato segment and increased focus on food security, which stimulated production. The adoption of precision farming techniques and technological advancements improved operational efficiency for farmers. By 2020, market volume stabilized, with major holdings like Azersun and Gilan strengthening their involvement in potato product manufacturing.

Between 2021 and 2023, the market volume reached a peak of 1,194,000 tonnes in 2022, driven by continued modernization of agricultural infrastructure and growing consumer demand for both food-grade and seed potatoes. However, in 2023, volume fell to 1,112,000 tonnes due to low harvests in some regions, prompting a sharp increase in imports from Turkey and Pakistan to meet market needs.

In 2024 and 2025, potato imports continued to rise, with Turkey and Pakistan as key suppliers, as part of state policy to enhance food security and boost domestic supply. Government support for agricultural infrastructure modernization remained a positive influence on the market dynamics.
