A pilot project, backed by the Israeli Agency for International Cooperation for Development (MASHAV) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has been launched in Azerbaijan to boost the production of apple, pomegranate, cherry, peach, and nectarine. The project, which has planted 3,400 fruit trees over 2.5 hectares at the Azerbaijan State Agrarian University, aims to serve as a scientific base for students and young scientists, featuring modern drip irrigation systems.
