On August 21, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev participated in the inauguration of the "Balland – Kalbajar honey, bee, and beekeeping products store." The store offers not only honey but also propolis, royal jelly, pollen, beeswax, and other natural products. Plans include bringing these products to international markets under the “Made in Azerbaijan” brand and launching an online sales platform. The store serves not just as a sales point but also as a platform for promoting Kalbajar honey, branding beekeeping products, and supporting the development of the sector.
The Mustafayev family, engaged in beekeeping for more than 40 years, combines traditional knowledge with modern methods. With around 400 bee colonies, their farm is regarded as one of the country’s leading family enterprises.
Beekeeping has been one of the main occupations of Kalbajar residents for generations. A vivid example is the family farm of Sabir Mustafayev, who returned to his native land with his family after the Patriotic War to restore his farm. Their honey is collected from flowers growing in the remote highland pastures of Kalbajar.
During his 2021 visit to Kalbajar, President Ilham Aliyev toured this farm.
Following the inauguration, President Ilham Aliyev had a conversation with Sabir Mustafayev.
