The development of cotton growing in Azerbaijan is supported by the state. Under the new subsidy mechanism, cotton farmers receive subsidies from the state for both planting and harvest. Farmers receive a subsidy of 220 manat ($129.4) per hectare of a cotton field, and 100 manat ($58.8) per ton of cotton delivered to the receiving points. Grown products are purchased from a farmer at a price of 550-650 manat ($323.5-$382.3) per ton, depending on the quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
