Baku, Azerbaijan, July 9
By Matanat Nasibova - Trend:
Opening of facilities for processing livestock products in the Azerbaijani districts is scheduled for this fall, Sakina Babayeva, head of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Azerbaijan, told Trend.
She said that there are plans to open such facilities in several Azerbaijani districts in October-November 2019.
“The relevant work continues in this direction in four districts of the country, namely Goranboy, Tovuz, Bilasuvar and Imishli districts,” she noted. “Washing and cleaning sheep wool and skins will be implemented at these facilities. This step is aimed at supporting business activities in Azerbaijan, as well as the development of small businesses.”
She added that the opening of such facilities contributes to the creation of new jobs in the regions, as well as the export of processed livestock products.
“We plan to establish exports to Turkey, given the fairly high demand in this market for processed livestock products,” she said. “The facilities will be created with the support of the state and the direct participation of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Azerbaijan.”
The Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Azerbaijan was established with the support of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs of Azerbaijan in October 2017.
Over 143,000 women are engaged in business in Azerbaijan, according to the statistics.
