Azerbaijan strongly opposes the import of genetically modified food products, the country’s Minister of Agriculture Ismet Abbasov told reporters on Saturday. “Neither the Ministry of Agriculture nor other relevant departments would permit the import of such products,” said the minister. According to Abbasov, Azerbaijan’s farm products are environmentally friendly due to the limited use of fertilizers, and there is no need for importing foreign GM food products.
