Azerbaijan has recorded\u00a0536 tonnes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0or $1.7 million in avocado imports in the half-year (H1) 2025 ending June, an exponential improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the southwestern Asia country\u2019s State Statistical Committee, this was a 28% value spike and 13% volume increment from half-year 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru led trade momentum in H1 2025 by supplying 253 tonnes worth $837,000 or 50% of the total quantity receipts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next was Tanzania with 83 tonnes valued at $259,000, while former niche supply champ, Kenya, dispatched 45 tonnes worth $171,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morocco and 2024\u2019s top supplier, T\u00fcrkiye, finished fourth and fifth at 28.5 tonnes ($101,700) and 54.5 tonnes ($81,800), respectively.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth underlines a spurt in inbound trade since 2023 when avocado imports hit $1.311 million<\/u><\/a>, per the World Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since that time, the half-year import expenditure currently at $1.7 million has overtaken the previous annual tallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, new and old markets are reflecting the versatility in the escalating market growth by vying out each other. In 2023, for example, Kenya was the top origin at $354,110 while in 2024, T\u00fcrkiye claimed 45% of inbound volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressive Agricultural Trade Spills into 2<\/strong>nd<\/sup><\/strong><\/sup><\/strong> Half 2025<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite trade versatility, avocados were just a trickle of exponential agricultural trade by Azerbaijan this past half-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The avocado import value was roughly 1\/112th<\/sup> that of vegetable and fruit imports in the past seven months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January-July 2025\u2019s fruit and vegetable imports increased by 11.3% in value to $191,481 million and 6% in volume to 248,470 tonnes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, fruit and vegetable exports clocked 490,609 tonnes worth over $506.4 million or 33.1% higher annual value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruit\/vegetable exports from January to July 2025 were 2.5 times more valuable than corresponding period\u2019s imports. In economical terms, these outbound shipments represented 3.3% of the GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All eyes are now on how avocado imports shape up for the entire year because production in Azerbaijan is negligible. Notably, trials to grow the\u00a0Persea Americana Mill<\/em><\/u><\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>avocado species in the country\u2019s Absheron peninsula have been underway since 2019. The statistics below therefore focus on import trade and consumption rather than production.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azerbaijan Avocado Import <\/strong>Statistics <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region of southwest Asia is among countries that rely much on imports of tropical fruits, including avocados. The nation averages 488.512 tonnes<\/u><\/a> of avocado imports a year, as of 2023, according to the World Bank. From 2023 through mid-2025, imports had more than doubled both in half-year shipments and annual tallies. In half-year 2024, for example, the country imported 473 tonnes of fresh\/dried avocados worth $2.1 million. These shipments were 2.1 times<\/u><\/a> above the equivalent half-year 2023 volumes. For the first six months of 2025, the volume expanded considerably to 537 tonnes while the import expenditure grew to $1.7 million. This marked a 28% volume increase<\/u><\/a> and 13% value rise, year-on-year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho<\/strong>w much avocados do people in Azerbaijan eat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azerbaijan consumes around 392 tonnes<\/u><\/a> of avocados per year, the 123rd<\/sup> highest by volume worldwide (2022). This is equal to 0.1 grams<\/u><\/a> of fresh fruit per person per day. In comparison, the Dominican Republic at the top of the consumption chain averages  134 g per capita daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which are the main avocado origins for Azerbaijan? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the import trade was still shaping up, Azerbaijan showed import dynamism in the three years ending 2025. In 2023, Kenya topped the import origin tally at 114.049 tonnes<\/u><\/a> or 25% share. Then in 2024, T\u00fcrkiye claimed the top spot with a 45% origin<\/u><\/a> share. In the first half of 2025, the crown for both volume and value went to Peru at 253 tonnes or 50% share. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
