Earlier Report Observations

The Azerbaijani watermelon market volume expanded from 308 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 362 thousand tons in 2022, before contracting to 340 thousand tons in 2023. This overall growth was followed by a significant downturn in the final year of the period.

Domestic production mirrored this pattern, rising from 307 thousand tons to a high of 375 thousand tons in 2022, then declining to 351 thousand tons in 2023. The most substantial annual increase occurred between 2018 and 2019.

A major shift was the rise in exports, which became a notable market feature from 2019 onward, reaching over 14 thousand tons by 2022. This growing external shipment volume affected the net supply remaining for domestic consumption.
