In January of this year, 1022.5 tons of butter were imported to Azerbaijan for a total cost of 5 million 441.8 thousand dollars.
A calculation by Yeniavaz.com, citing published official data, shows that the average customs value of 1 kilogram of butter imported from abroad was $5.3 (9 manat).
For comparison, for the same period last year, the average customs value of 1 kilogram of imported butter was $6.3 (10.7 manat).
As can be seen from the published data, the price of imported butter has decreased by 16% over the past year.
However, despite a 16% decline in prices for imported butter last year, the country's retail stores have not seen the same level of decline.
According to the State Statistics Committee, compared to January 2023, the price of butter and vegetable oil in the country in January of this year decreased by only 6.8%.
