Tridge summary

Moldovan grapes of the "Moldova" variety are being sold in Azerbaijan's Bolmart supermarket chain despite the high retail price of 5.3 manats/kg ($3/kg). The product is popular and in high demand, indicating a potential stable market for Moldovan suppliers in Azerbaijan. In December 2022, Moldova exported around 12,000 tons of table grapes, and in total, over 47,000 tons of grapes from the 2022 crop were delivered to foreign markets. Only a small part of the grapes from the previous year's harvest, estimated to be around 1-2 thousand tons, remains in storage and is being sold at mid-January.

On his Facebook page, the chairman of the Association of Grape Producers and Exporters of the Republic of Moldova, Gheorghe Gaber, shared a pleasant observation: in January, Moldovan grapes of the “Moldova” variety are presented in the Bolmart supermarket chain in Baku. Packaging - plastic trays and flow-packs, the retail price is relatively high - 5.3 manats/kg, which is equivalent to 59 lei/kg ($3/kg). Nevertheless, according to the employees of the market, located in the center of the capital of Azerbaijan, this product is well known to buyers and is in high demand. “There is a prospect and sense in being present in this market,” the cited source believes.

As in many other eastern markets (Kazakhstan, Mongolia, etc.), the demand for it increases from November and is relatively high throughout the winter. See also: Vlad Vedrashko: if ...
