Cotton Growing Regions
Azerbaijan is one of the countries distinguished by its cotton-growing tradition and favorable natural climate conditions. Cotton is mainly cultivated in the Aran economic zone, Karabakh region and the Ganja-Gazakh zone. These regions share common features such as fertile soils, irrigation channels, and a long growing season.
Aran Region

Both large agribusinesses and small farms operate here. Imishli and Saatli districts are distinguished by their high productivity.
Karabakh region
Karabakh is one of the areas where cotton growing is rapidly recovering. İn the Agjabadi, Barda, Tartar, Agdam, Fuzuli, and Jabrayil regions cotton cultivation is expanding. There is great potential for development here, thanks to both fertile lands and state investment in agricultural infrastructure.
Ganja-Gazakh Region
Yevlakh and Goranboy districts are the main centers of cotton production in this zone. The climatic conditions and soil structure in this region allow for the production of high-quality fiber. In recent years, new processing enterprises have also started operating in Yevlakh district.
