Azerbaijan is seeking to exempt soybean imports from VAT, as it is one of the largest importers of beans for animal feed in the Caucasus and Central Asia region. The country's main suppliers are Brazil, the USA, Argentina, Russia, and Paraguay. Currently, the purchase price for domestic entrepreneurs is $810 per ton, while in Turkey it is $560 per ton, and local businessmen are unable to compete in the market. Azerbaijan plans to increase soybean production by attracting foreign investment in its agricultural sector.
