Nazim O.Eminov: The problems of formation of regional innovation strategy in Azerbaijan

Researches show that development of agriculture and its conversion industries

is possible in cases of expansion of exports. Thus in 1991 108.7 thousand ton of

seedless raw cotton, 3355.7 thousand tons of clean wool, 11586,0 ton of cotton

seeds, 30090,0 thousand ton of wine, 36897,0 tons of tobacco, 227249,0 tons of

fresh vegetables, 13192 ton grape, 13772 ton tropic fruits, 4280 tons of natural tee

were exported. Although in the recent years there were significant changes in

export, there were not any crutial changes. Thus in 2010 Azerbaijan exported

agricultural products in value of 250 thousand ton. In order to develop the

agriculture in the country we need to improve its technical base. Thus if in 1990

one combine harvester was considered for 129.8 hectares of area where grain-crops

are grown, in 2010 this figure was equal to 502 hectares, one potato collector was

considered for 566.7 and 3290 hectares of land respectively. The opportunities for

growth of agriculture in Azerbaijan is possible by the means of involvement of

modern equipment, implementation of agro-technical measurements, provision of

scientific grounds for the sector, increase of quality of services provided, formation

of effective relations with agriculture conversion industries.

We believe that the opportunities of the government for optimal allocation of

agricultural forces are great. Thus Agroleasing Ltd serving in number of regions is

governmental organization. At the same time application of area based allowance

system will be useful for implementation of optimal allocation of agriculture. In
