Download or read book Hazelnut sector in Azerbaijan written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azerbaijan’s agriculture sector is vital to the economy and hazelnuts represent a valuable product. In recent years, the hazelnut sector has shown a significant increase in production areas, but the dominating traditional, low-mechanized practices have hindered the increase in production yields and volumes. Another issue is the risk of aflatoxin contamination, which reduces the quality of hazelnuts and poses serious health risks. Governmental programmes are currently aiming to promote intensified production, support the mechanization of the sector, and provide solutions to the aflatoxin problem. The hazelnut value chain can also be a source of bioenergy, by utilizing the shells, husks, and pruning residues generated along the chain. To promote the development of sustainable pathways for the utilization of these residues, it is vital to assess their availability, as well as the viability of their conversion for specific energy needs. The report aims to evaluate the potential to produce sustainable bioenergy from the residues generated along the hazelnut value chain in Azerbaijan. A techno-economic assessment of the possible bioenergy pathways considered viable in the country’s context was conducted, based on the available volumes of hazelnut residues that can be mobilized. Moreover, the potential of using renewable energy interventions to tackle aflatoxin contamination along the value chain was assessed. Estimates of the level of investment required to scale up the identified technologies are also provided, as are the potential greenhouse gas emissions reductions that might be achieved by deploying the identified technologies.
Download or read book Potential brewing for Azerbaijani and Georgian tea industries written by Prikhodko, D., Sterk, B., Monzini, J., Snell, J. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the once booming tea industries in Azerbaijan and Georgia have long been in decline, interest in revitalizing the sector is gaining steam in both countries. Tea has a long tradition in Azerbaijan and Georgia, where tea has been produced since the 19th century. The two countries became the main tea producers in the former Soviet Union and reached a peak in production in the mid-1980s. With an expected stronger demand for green tea and health and wellness teas as well as for high-quality black tea in developed markets, this brief suggests that these product categories should be the areas of focus for the Azerbaijani and Georgian tea industries during the next decade.FAO and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) look at the countries’ potential to produce high quality and specialty teas. The joint FAO-EBRD sector review examines how the two countries can advance their tea industries and improve tea quality and profitability.

Book excerpt: This report aims to highlight the current strengths of the institutional DRR system for agriculture in Azerbaijan as well as indicate existing gaps and capacity needs to further enhance it. A comprehensive assessment is conducted, which includes a general overview of the country’s agricultural sector and outlines the most frequent natural hazards that are impacting the sector. It is followed by an analysis of the existing legal, policy and institutional structure and discusses various components of the system, including e.g. the functioning of early warning systems, assessments of disaster risks, post-disaster needs assessments, including damages and losses assessments and the availability of agricultural insurance for farmers. It concludes by providing recommendations for capacity building interventions to strengthen the current system to reduce the adverse impacts of natural hazards, in particular, floods, landslides and droughts, and climate change on agriculture in Azerbaijan.

Download or read book Tea sector review Georgia written by Prikhodko, D., Sterk, B., Sokolova, A., Monzini, J., Snell, J. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was produced under an FAO-EBRD Cooperation project on reviewing the development potential of the tea sectors of Azerbaijan and Georgia. As a result of the joint research in the two countries carried out as part of the project, a similar separate review of the Azerbaijani tea sector was also published under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. Tea has a long tradition of cultivation in Azerbaijan and Georgia, dating back to the nineteenth century. The structural changes that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s led to a dramatic decline of the two countries’ tea sectors. However, interest in tea production in Georgia and Azerbaijan has increased in recent years and, in an effort to revive their once thriving tea sectors, governments have adopted sector development programmes that provide for support to primary tea production. In spite of the long tradition and accumulated know-how of tea production and processing, there is little doubt that investments in both technology and knowledge will be required for the Azerbaijani and Georgian tea sectors to grow in a successful and sustainable way. Production focused on efficiency and quality and mindful of shifts in consumer preferences on global markets, but also of potential environmental risks, will be critical in achieving this goal. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme.
