It is widely known that the level of Azerbaijan's non-oil export is significantly less than its existing potential. Accordingly, the government of Azerbaijan plans to increase its non-oil export to achieve export-led economic development. One of the important elements to achieve this goal is digital transformation of the economic activities, especially in non-oil sector such as agriculture. Agriculture plays an important role in economy of Azerbaijan in terms of ensuring food security, nonoil export, and non-oil GDP formation. Azexport.az portal and related e-trade infrastructure have been developed in order to contribute to this goal. Azexport.az helps for transition of the export opportunities of Azerbaijani companies, especially agricultural firms into real sales, thereby contributing to the creation of new jobs in the country, the strengthening of existing jobs and sustainable development. In this paper, we will provide information on opportunities how to use new innovative and alternative tools to join the global value chain, activities in this direction, measures taken to diversify exports across the non-oil sector, and boost export potential of agricultural products in Azerbaijan.
