The challenge

The key challenge for the Azerbaijan Flowers Company (AFC) project was developing profitable, specialized flower farm before the holiday season.

Emphasizing sustainability, the project incorporated an automated irrigation and water recycling system. A significant aspect was coordinating with local suppliers and adhering to strict time and budget limits. Successfully overcoming these challenges, the project was completed on budget and in time for the lucrative New Year season.
