Russia is one of the largest importers of Azerbaijani agro-products, said Ilham Guliyev, Azerbaijan’s Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
The official made the remark while addressing a press conference, dedicated to the 22nd international exhibition "Food Industry" and the 10th Azerbaijan International Exhibition "Agriculture".
“Relations between Azerbaijan and Russia are actively and fruitfully developing in politics and economy,” he said, further adding that agricultural machinery, which Azerbaijan purchases on request of local farmers, is highly developed in Russia.
Azerbaijan, in turn, exports fruits, vegetables and melons to Russia, according to Guliyev, who underlined that the volume of Azerbaijani tomatoes exported to Russia has increased five-fold recently.
