Yeniavaz.com reports citing published official data, wheat production decreased by 7.9% compared to the previous year.
The productivity of last year's wheat harvest also decreased compared to the previous year. In 2021, 32.9 centners of wheat were harvested from each hectare, while last year it was 31.9 centners.
For information, demand for wheat in Azerbaijan is about 3.6 million tons. Of these, about 2.1 million tons are used in food production (mainly flour and cereals).
