2025 has been a year of strategic transformation for Prime Cotton in terms of agricultural, processing, and export activities. Throughout the year, the company cultivated cotton on 40,208.7 hectares in cooperation with 6,708 farmers, producing a total of 152,670.82 tons of cotton. These figures once again confirm Prime Cotton's status as one of the leading companies with the broadest production and supply chain in the country.
Based on actual harvest figures for the 2025 season, 142,452 tons of cotton were procured from 37,513.7 hectares with 6,709 farmers, which is considered one of the highest results in the cotton production sector in the country over the last 30 years.
The company's export activities have also significantly expanded. Throughout the year, Prime Cotton products were exported to 10 countries, with access gained to 4 new markets and cooperation established with over 60 international customers. Key exported products include cottonseed, raw cotton, cottonseed oil, linters, yarn, and grains.
2025 has also been a year of significant achievements for Prime Cotton in terms of international trust and certification. The company has confirmed its operations are in line with global standards by obtaining 10 international certifications, including OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, USDA Organic, Sedex Supplier Plus, HIGG, ETKO, Geodentify, membership in the International Cotton Association (ICA), as well as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certificates.
Rovshan Mahmudov, CEO of Prime Cotton, assessed the results achieved as follows:
“2025 is not just about increased production volumes for Prime Cotton, but a real result of systematic management and the healthy partnership built with farmers. This operational model, encompassing thousands of farmers, tens of thousands of hectares, and international markets, demonstrates that Azerbaijani cotton is now globally recognized in terms of quality, traceability, and trust.”
Against the backdrop of increasing demand for sustainability, certification, and origin traceability in the global cotton and yarn market, Prime Cotton's 2025 results are considered a significant contribution to strengthening Azerbaijan's non-oil export potential.
