Concerns over potential increases in chicken prices in Azerbaijan have emerged after Turkey raised poultry prices by about 15% ahead of Ramadan and announced a temporary halt to poultry exports.
However, local experts say the Azerbaijani market is unlikely to face significant price pressure.
Economist Khalid Karimli notes that 75–80% of domestic demand for poultry products is covered by local production, limiting the impact of external supply disruptions.
The remaining share consists largely of frozen imports from multiple countries, meaning Turkey is not a dominant supplier capable of driving prices upward.
Murvat Hasanov, head of the Association of Poultry Producers and Exporters, offered a similar assessment, stating that warehouse reserves remain sufficient and that no sharp price increase is expected over the next six to twelve months.
Taken together, these factors suggest that despite regional price shifts and export restrictions, Azerbaijan’s internal supply structure continues to act as the main stabilizing force in the poultry market.
