As of now, Azerbaijan continues boosting it sugar import, even despite the Gov-declared support of the domestic sugar output and the Gov financial assistance to the domestic sugar beets’ producers, Ukrainian National Association of Sugar Producers says referring to the Zerkalo report.
As to the report, as of this year Jan-Feb, Azerbaijan has grown its sugar import to 55,786 tons, up 39,105 tons (3.3 times) against last year Jan-Feb (in money terms, from US$7.1 million up to US$20.8 million).
It is to be admitted, at same time, as of this year Jan-Feb, Azerbaijan has declined its sugar export to US$2.2 million tons, down against US$2.4 million tons as of last year similar.
It is to be noted, now RF and Ukraine are the leaders of the CIS countries’ sugar output, so it is easy to understand that these countries are the main shippers of sugar to Azerbaijan.
As to the report, as of last year, Azerbaijan purchased the sugar from RF and Ukraine for total US$83 million. Reportedly, as of last year, Azerbaijan sugar output totaled 194,400 tons.
