Heydar Babayev: "We will refuse sugar import if Imishli Sugar-Refinery meets the needs"

According to APA, the Minister said that after implementation of some measures the sugar produced by the sugar-refinery in Imishli might be exported.

$80 million was spent on the Imishli Sugar-Refinery. The establishment is in the power of producing 5 thousand tons of sugar per day.

The sugar-refinery has more than 2 thousand tons of sugar-beet in reserve. The establishment will expand cooperation with farmers engaged in growing sugar-beet. So, sowing areas will be increased to 15 thousand hectares from 2 thousand hectares by the end of the current year.
