Agrarian, construction, processing and extractive industries will be developed in Gubadli.
This was reported by the Center for Analysis and Communication of Economic Reforms.
It is said that Gubadli region, which is part of the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region, has a mountainous area bordering Armenia. Compared to other economic regions, this economic region includes mineral resources, minerals and tourism potential.
Typically, the potential of the tourism sector is less noticeable in geographical areas with mountainous terrain. Nevertheless, the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region has a unique harmony with the mining potential and tourism potential.
Like Kalbajar and Zangilan districts, Gubadli district is distinguished by its natural deposits in this zone. There are sawdust, clay, construction stone, facing stone, colored stone and fresh groundwater resources in the region. Each of these resources is one of the main features that distinguishes the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region from other economic regions.
Special mention should be made of Hajili Tufu, with reserves of 6,247,000 cubic meters of sawn stone in Gubadli region, clay in Khanlig village with reserves of 990,000 cubic meters, and Eyvazli decorative-agate stone with reserves of 1,100 tons.
It should be noted that the agate deposit monument located in the region is one of the rare deposits.
Gubadli region, which is part of the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region, has many common features with Jabrayil and Zangilan in terms of natural resources. The sawmill located in all three regions will play a direct role in meeting the demand in the construction sector of the country.
Thus, a number of resources suitable for the construction sector, which are produced within the economic region and then have production potential, are also imported to our country. Thus, as the construction sector, which plays a driver role in the development of our economy, develops, it also increases the import of some construction materials. After the liberation of Jabrayil and Zangilan districts, as well as Gubadli district, we can meet the full demand of the construction sector at the expense of local resources.
The Bargushad and Hakari rivers and their tributaries flow through the region. The river is suitable for irrigation and hydropower. Thus, economic crime, which is part of Armenia's policy of aggression, is also associated with the exploitation of these rivers.
Thus, the construction of three hydropower plants, which began in 2009, began in 2011. The Azerbaijani army has turned Armenia's dream of building three more power plants into a dream in the near future.
In particular, according to experts, it is possible to build a hydropower plant with a capacity of about 40 MW using the water resources of Gubadli region, which can supply water to a large part of the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region. In addition, water resources can be a great stimulus for the development of other water-intensive areas of Nagorno-Karabakh.
During the Soviet era, Gubadli's economy was based on grain, livestock, tobacco, cocoons and viticulture. The region produced up to 15,000 tons of grain products a year, about 12,000 tons of feed a year, an average of 2,000 tons of tobacco, up to 1,200 tons of meat and 2,000 tons of dairy products.
An average of 3,000 tons of grapes were sold to the state annually. One of the areas of production was cocoons. 60-70 tons of cocoons were produced annually and handed over to the state. Until the 1960s, the region was also engaged in paddy farming.
As a result, after the liberation of Zangilan and Gubadli, located in the Kalbajar-Lachin economic region, 50 percent of the economic region came under the control of the Azerbaijani state. Distinguished from other regions by a number of economic advantages, this zone will also play a significant role in the economic and inclusive development of Azerbaijan.
