About Exhibition
Azerbaijan………………………A reliable partner
In the past 19 years Azerbaijan has been developing as an independent country, and managed to guarantee its significant place in the region and international scene.
Azerbaijan has 39 bilateral treaties on the mutual protection of investments and 39 treaties on exemption of double taxation.
Azerbaijan, a top reformer in World Bank’s “Doing Business” previous report, ranks 38th now while it jumped to 33 on the list from 97 last year after having completed 7 out of 10 regulatory reforms by which Doing Business ranks countries. Now the country is one of the most rapidly recovering economies in the world.
Azerbaijan is one of the world’s oldest agricultural centres. The country’s climatic diversity allows a very broad range of crops to be cultivated. At the moment agriculture accounts for approximately 15% of domestic product. The sector is growing rapidly. Agriculture and related sectors are the principle employers in the country. Following almost full denationalization of the sector (at the moment circa 99% of the sector is in private ownership) a number of steps were taken by the government to support the farmers as well as producers of processed a/c products. Azerbaijani fruits, vegetables, wines and brandy have become brands of Azerbaijan in the region.
Azerbaijan’s economy has grown by more than 1000% over the last 10 years. It is one of the most effective recoveries among transition economies.
In 2011 in Azerbaijan is expected to increase agricultural output by six percent compared with last year. In 2010, the total volume of agricultural products amounted to actual prices 4.85 billion doll.
