Azerbaijan has sharply boosted its fertilizer export income this year, posting one of the strongest growth rates among its non-oil export categories.
According to the State Customs Committee, Azerbaijan exported $153.867 million worth of fertilizers from January to October 2025 – a 49.6% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Imports also grew, though more modestly. Over the ten months, the country imported $75.08 million in fertilizers, up 18% year-on-year. Fertilizers accounted for 0.39% of all imports and 0.71% of total exports.
Overall foreign trade turnover for the period reached $40.862 billion, a 3.8% rise from last year. Exports totaled $21.637 billion, while imports amounted to $19.225 billion.
Compared with the previous year, exports fell by 4.9%, while imports increased by 15.6%, reflecting a shift in trade dynamics amid rising domestic demand and global market volatility.
