Azerbaijani poultry producers, led by Myurvyat Hasanli of the Republican Association of Producers and Exporters of Poultry Meat and Eggs, are gearing up to export chicken meat to Russia. This strategic move necessitates the modernization and expansion of poultry farms, potentially on non-arable agricultural land, pending government approval. The Azerbaijani government is supporting this initiative by extending subsidies for poultry production equipment, aiming to increase domestic production, reduce prices, and meet export demands. Azerbaijan, already an egg exporter to Russia, seeks to capitalize on the Russian market's current poultry meat shortages and high prices by also exporting chicken meat, with plans to expand into Middle Eastern markets.
