Azerbaijan’s non-oil and gas exports, excluding non-monetary gold, increased 20.8% year on year to $3.6 billion in the first 10 months of 2026. Preliminary figures were released by the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication (CAERC), AnewZ reports.
Non-oil exports totaled $414.2 million in October, up 23% from $336.8 million in the same month of 2025.
Exports of non-food products rose 29.9%, from $216.2 million to $280.7 million. Food exports fell to $115.2 million from $120.7 million in October 2025. The increase in non-food exports therefore outweighed the decline in food exports.
