Surkhay Novruzov: Farmers must adapt to changing climate conditions

Farmers must adapt to changing climate conditions, Advisor to the Agriculture Minister of Azerbaijan, Surkhay Novruzov, said on the second day of Baku Climate Action Week 2026 (BCAW 2026), Report informs.

"Recently, we have observed that the climate has become more variable. Although I am not a climate change specialist and cannot claim this is linked to global warming, this is the reality we live in. Over the past two years, fruit prices have fluctuated significantly. One of the reasons is the pollination process, which no longer occurs as normally as before. For example, in some regions of Azerbaijan, where the annual rainfall norm is 250 mm, this spring 60 mm of rain fell in just 15 minutes," he noted.
