Azerbaijan can boost agricultural products export to Russia

Azerbaijan is ready to rapidly increase the agricultural products export to Russia with a guarantee that these products will be bought, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu said.

He made the remarks at a press conference on Sept. 18, Russian news agency ITAR-TASS reported.

At the same time he said that it is not only the export of fruits and vegetables, but also poultry, eggs, and other products.

"Azerbaijan is totally self-sufficient and we are ready to rapidly boost the volume of exports," the ambassador said adding, "However there needs to be a guarantee that the products will be bought even in case of lifting the sanctions."

"The main problem is that the producers and entrepreneurs are afraid of administrative barriers, and long customs clearance, because the agricultural products are perishable goods," the diplomat said.

In his opinion, first it is necessary to create "normal conditions for private entrepreneurs so that the administrative obstacles would not make extra problems."

"Exactly these mechanisms need to be rectified," Ambassador Bulbuloglu stressed.

"There is a saying - every cloud has a silver lining," the ambassador added. "Maybe this political situation will assist to ensure that both Russian producers and Russia's neighbors and its long-term partners increase their production."
