Pomegranates have been grown in nearly all regions of Azerbaijan throughout history. But the dry subtropical Shirvan zone, which includes Goychay, is considered the most suitable region for growing the best types of this fruit. Juice producers mainly use pomegranates grown in Goychay. These fruits are known around the world for their taste and quality.
