In 2021, another third ABAD factory was launched in Guba and focused on the production of packaging materials.

The number of overall centres also increased in the corresponding year. Thus, with the support of PASHA Holding, 12 new ABAD stands were inaugurated, which in turn totalled their overall number to 28. There is also an increase in the range of markets where the stands are located. Thus, along with the Bravo markets chain, ABAD stands already operate in Grandmart, Bolmart, Rahat, and Bizim Markets.

The range of products in the field of food production has also been increased including 7 types of Fitolife herbal teas that are manufactured at Guba ABAD Factory for Processing and drying of plants, various marinades, condiments and sauces under the “Narli” brand name, new types of spices, lavangis, drinks, oils, and cheeses.

Also, viable steps have been taken in 2021 to export ABAD food products and ABAD products successfully made their way to Japan and Kazakhstan.

The handicrafts of ABAD members are not available only at 10 ABAD Ethno-boutiques, but also at Kontakt Home now, which is the largest retail chain in Azerbaijan, specializing in the sales of electronics, home appliances, furniture, textiles, and other household items.

Sheki and Nardaran Ceramics and Applied Arts centres also successfully continued their activities. During the last year, the special edition of a collection dedicated to the "YASHAT" fund was created in these centres. Part of the proceeds from the sales of this collection is donated to the YASHAT Foundation. Cooperation with the Foundation has also been established in several other areas. Supporting the family members of martyrs in becoming ABAD members is one of these areas.

ABAD also marked the successful completion of the “Support to the Development of Small Family Businesses in the Sheki-Zaqatala Economic Zone through the ABAD Regional Centre in Balakan” project is funded by the EU and co-funded and implemented by UNDP and ABAD under the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations. Since the project was launched in 2017, support was provided for 44 rural families including 12 IDP’s to start-up or expand their local businesses. These families were provided with essential training and the resources they needed to get their family businesses off the ground.

During the year, the interest in ABAD from many foreign countries has increased. The representative companies both from the public and private sector from Uzbekistan, Israel, Argentina, Tajikistan, Russia, and others showed enthusiasm to build cooperation with ABAD.
