CIS countries interested in mushroom exports from Azerbaijan

The capacity of the enterprise "Proqress", producing mushrooms, was increased due to a loan from the National Entrepreneurship Support Fund under the Azerbaijani Ministry of Economic Development, a representative of the company Mahir Mammadov told media.

"In 2010, the company got a credit from the National Fund to the amount of 990,000 manat. This sum was spent to increase the capacity of the enterprise up to 1,200 tons per year. Moreover, these funds were also spent to purchase modern equipment for building a workshop marinating mushrooms," he said.

He said that at present most production is delivered to cover domestic demand, but its part is exported - to Georgia. Besides Georgia, there are a number of markets, for example, Russian which are ready to export mushrooms from Azerbaijan.
