Azerbaijan spent about 265.3 million manats ($156.04 million) on Russian wheat during the eight-month period, also 3.8 times more than a year earlier, according to supplier-country data published by Report on Oct. 19 and based on State Statistics Committee figures.

The percentage shares were calculated from the published shipment volumes. For comparison, Russia supplied 47.73% of Azerbaijan’s imported wheat in all of 2025, while Kazakhstan accounted for 52.26%.
Total wheat imports in January-August reached 841,678 tons worth about 314.8 million manats ($185.17 million). An earlier report detailed the aggregate volume; the latest supplier breakdown shows a sharp shift toward Russian grain.
