Hazelnut farming

The process of growing hazelnuts and its impact on local agriculture. Hazelnut is one of the important fields of agriculture in Azerbaijan. The special climatic and soil conditions of the country create favorable conditions for the cultivation of hazelnuts. Proper maintenance of hazelnut trees increases productivity and improves the quality of the product. The breeding process begins with the planting of seedlings in the spring and continues with consistent watering, fertilization, and pest control. Hazelnut harvesting is mainly carried out in August-September. Growing hazelnuts helps Azerbaijan expand its access to global markets, generate new agricultural jobs, and strengthen local communities' economies. Exports of hazelnuts boost the nation's competitiveness in the international market and provide significant sources of income for the local economy. Farmers have prioritized producing high-quality crops, improving environmental sustainability, and creating more productive varieties in recent years. The government's support programs also foster the growth of hazelnut agriculture. Hazelnut farming in Azerbaijan occupies an important place in local culture not only due to productivity and economic benefits but also as a part of traditional agriculture. Hazelnuts are in high demand both in the domestic market and have a great export potential in foreign markets. To fully realize this potential, farmers try to increase productivity using modern technologies and produce high-quality products.
