In his opening remarks, CAERC Executive Director Vusal Gasimli noted that the Digital Trade Hub of Azerbaijan section is being launched on the www.azexport.az portal to promote exports:“The purpose of this training on ‘Requirements for Food Producers and Suppliers’ is to expand opportunities for local products in traditional and new markets and to accelerate integration into international markets, thereby supporting the country’s ongoing initiatives.”
