Support has been provided to the “Üzümçü” family farm within the framework of the “From City to Village” project
Support measures for agritourism farms operating in the regions continue under the "From City to Village" (“Şəhərdən Kəndə”) project, which is organized by the "Agrarian Procurement and Supply" OJSC (under the Ministry of Agriculture) with the support of "PASHA Holding."
As part of this project, support was recently provided to the "Üzümçü" family farm, located in Shamakhi district, which produces "Mistika" wines. The farm received assistance regarding winemaking equipment, packaging, and sales channels.
A visit to the farm was organized for representatives from the Shamakhi District Executive Authority, "Agrarian Procurement and Supply" OJSC, Ismayilli Regional Tourism Department, and other entities to observe the work being carried out. During the visit, the guests were given a close-up look at the wine production and processing operations.
Rahib Heydar, the owner of the "Üzümçü" family farm, provided the guests with detailed information regarding the farm's areas of activity, production capacity, and future plans. It was stated that increasing production volume and expanding vineyards are among the key priorities for the coming years.
The "Üzümçü" family farm, which focuses primarily on viticulture and winemaking, is located in the village of Malikchobanly in the Shamakhi district and covers an area of 4 hectares. The farm produces three varieties of wine using Merlot grapes, combining classical methods with modern technology. Its annual production volume is 4 tons.
It should be noted that the "From City to Village" project aims to develop agrotourism in the country, increase employment for the rural population, create alternative sales channels for local farms, and offer unique tourism opportunities for city residents and foreign tourists.
To date, 39 farms have received support through this project to enhance their tourism potential. Furthermore, training on agrotourism has been provided to 500 farmers, and 7 "info-tours" (familiarization trips) have been organized to help farm owners to establish connections with tourism companies.
