BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 11. Azerbaijani hazelnut producers and exporters express interest in the Kazakh market, an insider from a company within the industry told Trend.
"Azerbaijani hazelnut growers and exporters are interested in approaching the Kazakh market due to its proximity to the Russian market. While costs here are lower than in the European market, where their core cooperation resides, Kazakhstan provides an promising possibility for further research within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries", said the source.
According to the source, participants from this industry visited the Kazakh-Azerbaijani Business Council's second session in Baku to learn about the Kazakh side's suggestions, criteria, and preferences for future exports to that nation.
"We would also like to understand the Kazakh side's requirements. In terms of quality, local products meet worldwide standards", he added.
