Azerbaijan is sending trade missions to various countries since November 2016 in order to increase its exports. In particular, missions have already been organized to China and the UAE, and it is planned to send a mission to Egypt until the end of 2016.

Today Azerbaijan outputs more than 250 kinds of home-made products in food, light, heavy and construction industries.

To bring the economy to a new level Azerbaijan started promoting the ‘Made in Azerbaijan’ brand in foreign markets. The presidential decree, dated October 5, approves the form of the report “On the work carried out to encourage the export of non-oil products of Azerbaijani origin” and helps promoting ‘Made in Azerbaijan’ brand in foreign markets.

To finance the support of these measures, some 3 million manats (about $1.7 million) were allocated from the Azerbaijani President’s Reserve Fund in the 2016 State Budget.
