Azerbaijan bets on the pomegranate as its next big export
- Azerbaijan exported €48.2 million worth of pomegranates and pomegranate products in 2025, making the fruit one of the country's fastest-growing non-oil exports.
- Around 23,000 hectares of orchards now supply fresh fruit, juice, concentrate, wine and seed oil to 26 countries, from Gulf states to markets across Asia.
- That puts Azerbaijan up against established exporters such as Iran, Turkey and Spain, all of which sell pomegranates at scale.
