According to Azerbaijan’s draft state budget for 2027, potato production in the country is expected to total 948,000 tons. By comparison, earlier forecasts for agriculture, forestry and fisheries for 2026 had put the figure at 1 million 153,000 tons.
The document points to a gradual recovery in the following years. Potato output is projected to rise to 967,000 tons in 2028, a 2% increase over the 2027 level.
For 2029, expected production stands at 996,800 tons, climbing further to 1 million 33,200 tons in 2030. The budget projections thus anticipate a steady increase in output through the end of the forecast period.
