- The country exported pomegranates and products made from them worth €48.2 million in 2025, making the fruit one of the fastest-growing exports outside the oil sector.
- Around 23,000 hectares of orchards supply 26 countries with fresh fruit, juice, concentrate, wine and seed oil, from the Gulf states to markets across Asia.
- More than 200 varieties grow mainly in the Kur-Araz lowland and Goychay district, with Guloysha regarded as the best-known variety internationally.
- Az-Granata’s operations director reported that the 2026 harvest was significantly smaller because of cold, rainy days, estimating the yield loss at 15 to 20 percent.
This UNESCO recognition shows the special cultural value of the pomegranate for the people of Azerbaijan and also strengthens the international visibility of the 'Made in Azerbaijan' brand— Farhad Garashov, chairman of the Pomegranate Producers and Exporters Association of Azerbaijan, to Euronews
