BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. One of the main
potential export categories from Armenia to Azerbaijan is food and
agricultural products, the economist-expert Eldeniz Amirov told
Trend.


He noted that Armenia exports chocolate and confectionery
products, canned goods, fruit juices, mineral waters, wine, and
other beverages, as well as fresh and dried fruits and vegetables
to foreign markets.


"In addition, Armenia also has a certain export potential in the
industrial sector. Chemical, plastic, rubber, metal, metallurgical
products, and other industrial goods may be among the products that
can be exported to the Azerbaijani market in the future," he
said.


According to the expert, the specific products that will be
imported to Azerbaijan will be determined by price, quality, market
demand, logistics capabilities, and competition with local
producers.


Regarding this issue, economic expert Khalid Karimli told
Trend that the
principal categories of products to be exported from Armenia to
Azerbaijan will be determined by decisions made by
entrepreneurs.







"Entrepreneurs evaluate which product is more profitable to
import from which source based on economic calculations. I don't
think that food products will be imported at the initial stage.
More raw materials used in industry and chemical industry products
will likely be imported. However, in the future, food products may
also be included in the list of exported products," Khalid Kazimov
noted.


Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced at a previous
briefing that the first export operation to Azerbaijan was carried
out.


Exports of products from Azerbaijan to Armenia also continue. On
September 3, 17 tank cars carrying a total of 989 tons of diesel
fuel were dispatched from Balajari station toward Boyuk-Kesik
station. To date, around 15,000 tons of diesel fuel and nearly
5,000 tons of RON-92 and RON-95 gasoline have been exported from
Azerbaijan to Armenia.


As part of the restoration of trade and transit relations
between the two countries, various cargoes are being transported
from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan. Along this route, more than
55,000 tons of grain, around 9,000 tons of fertilizers, 1,414 tons
of propane, 133 tons of aluminum, 1,114 tons of coal and 334 tons
of timber have so far been shipped.
