It is known that in the former Soviet Union, Azerbaijan was a country that exported cotton and fruit, tobacco, wine, and canned fruit and vegetable products. In the early 1990s, the collapse of the union, the deterioration of economic relations between the former republics and the loss of traditional markets led to a sharp decrease in production. In such a situation, Armenia's groundless territorial claim against Azerbaijan, the coming to power of the Popular Front, their incompetent management, and internal strife worsen the political and economic situation in the country.
strained. As a result, Armenia's occupation of 20 percent of our territories and the creation of problems of more than one million refugees and internally displaced persons dealt a heavy blow to the agricultural sector. With this, the material and technical base created over many years weakened, product markets were lost, and the production of agricultural products decreased sharply. Thus, in 1990-1993, the balance between the prices of industrial products and agricultural products was disturbed in the country, and a difficult situation arose in the development of the social and production infrastructure of the village. The construction of schools, culture, household services and health facilities was practically stopped. During this period, the depreciation of the main funds accelerated, the level of equipment armament of the agricultural and processing industry decreased. Production the application of the achievements of scientific and technical progress in the processes was limited. Due to the mentioned reasons, our country turned from an exporting country to an importing country. A number of measures were taken to overcome the crisis in the country, and since 1993, confident steps were taken to strengthen state building and revive the economy. The main task was to form market relations, develop entrepreneurship and improve domestic production by effectively using existing potentials. National Leader Heydar Aliyev, who returned to the leadership of the country
decided to take decisive steps, establish stability in the country and implement economic reforms. For this purpose, under the leadership of the great leader in 1993-1995 agrarian policy directions for the next 5-10 years were determined and a number of measures were implemented.
Azerbaijan has been under the aggression of Armenia for 30 years. The purpose of the study is to assess the condition of the agricultural sector in the territories freed from occupation by our victorious army, to determine the measures to be implemented and to prepare proposals for socio-economic development goals.
The methodology of the research is based on the analysis of the measures implemented by Azerbaijan after regaining its independence, the creation of a legal framework leading the country from recession to dynamic development, and the analysis of a number of consistent and systematic relationships. The applied importance of the research is that it can be used in the preparation of socio-economic development programs and measures of the liberated territories.
The results of the study are to use the positive experiences gained in Azerbaijan for the socio-economic development of the territories freed from occupation. With this, the development of agricultural production in Karabakh can be achieved on the basis of new techniques and technologies. As a result of the implementation of the proposed proposals, modern agricultural production and processing enterprises and specialized cooperatives can be created in these areas.
