Abstract :Hazelnut (Corylus Avellana L.) cultivation is of significant economic importance to Azerbaijan, ranking the country as the fourth–largest global producer, following Türkiye, Italy and USA. This perennial plant, deeply placed in the cultural and agricultural history of the Greater Caucasus region, is predominantly cultivated in the northern regions of Azerbaijan, specifically in the Sheki–Zagatala and Guba–Khachmaz economic zones. The industry has evolved over centuries, with notable advancements during the Soviet era, including the establishment of the first hazelnut processing factories and state farms. Despite the high demand, domestic consumption remains limited, prompting ongoing efforts to expand production through modern agricultural practices and the preservation of local hazelnut cultivars. This paper explores the historical context, current cultivars, orchard management, and the challenges posed by pathogens and pests affecting hazelnut production in Azerbaijan.
