Catalyzing the efficiency and sustainability of Azerbaijan’s hazelnut sector
The project entitled “Catalyzing the efficiency and sustainability of Azerbaijan’s hazelnut sector” (HAZER) is implemented under the FAO-Azerbaijan Partnership Programme (FAPP) by the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with an objective of empowering smallholder farmers to adopt Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) to improve the production efficiency of hazelnut, with adapted mechanization technologies and services, and to increase the quality of nuts produced, with a specific focus on reducing the risk of aflatoxin contamination. The beneficiaries of the project are the actors in the hazelnut value chain, including producers, processors, and exporters. The fundamental objective of laying down GAP standards is to improve the hazelnut crop management system and enhance the capacity of farmers and agriculture specialists on quality and safety requirements, leading to increased production, sustainable incomes, social equity, and environmental protection.
