According to President Ilham Aliyev of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the nation has more than doubled the area of hazelnut plantations: "Hazelnut growing has been extensively developing in Azerbaijan in recent years. We have more than doubled the area of hazelnut plantations. We are currently the third largest exporter of hazelnuts in the world. Unfortunately, almond production in Azerbaijan was very low and did not meet the domestic demand. It is therefore necessary to undertake the production of more almonds now," the head of state said.
