Azerbaijani cotton varieties

In Azerbaijan, various local and international cotton varieties have been tested for many years. The goal is to achieve both high productivity and fiber quality preservation.

Main varieties

The currently widespread varieties include the following:

  • BA-1010 – distinguished by high productivity.
  • Lazer – suitable for export due to fiber length and cleanliness.
  • Fiona – known for disease resistance.
  • Delta-21 – has early maturation characteristics.
  • X-37 – provides a competitive advantage in the textile industry.
  • Turan-1 – a variety adapted to local climate conditions.

The productivity of these varieties ranges between 40–50 centners per hectare. Their fiber length and strength meet international standards.

Different varieties are adapted to the climate and soil conditions of Azerbaijan’s cotton-growing regions. This provides farmers with the opportunity for stable income.

ACPA and agricultural institutes support the development and testing of new, innovative cotton varieties.

The cleanliness and fiber length of Azerbaijani varieties enhance their competitiveness in the Turkish, Chinese, and European markets.
