September 27, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan produces about 150,000 tons of seed potatoes, but still there are free places in this sphere with volume of 150,000 tons, stated Firdovsi Fikretzadeh, the director of the Agricultural Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture during his speech at the German-Azerbaijani Business Forum.

"We’d like to build a fertilizer plant here jointly with any German company: in this way we could sell fertilizers to the markets of Russia and the CIS, as we have created special conditions for that. The Azerbaijani market is growing, but we can bring products not only to the Azerbaijani market, but also to the CIS markets. We also have favorable conditions in the rural sector. Our potential for grape production is larger than in Georgia and Moldova, but we were not able to enter foreign markets as those republics did. And now the government wants to develop this sector," Fikretzadeh emphasized.
