This work aims to briefly discuss the current situation and the main problems of biotechnology development in agriculture in Azerbaijan. To this end, the perspectives on the use of biotechnology in products produced in the country's agro-industrial complex are mentioned, highlighting the advances made in this field. Currently, the use of biotechnology in the country acts as a means to guarantee food security and optimize negative effects on ecosystems. Thanks to the application of biotechnologies, productive plant species, and animal breeds are created that are resistant to the effects of natural-geographic factors and diseases. The development of these plant and animal species helps ensure production efficiency, restore degraded soils and significantly reduce the need for pesticides and mineral fertilizers. Taking this into account, in recent years the legal basis has been formed in the Republic of Azerbaijan for major works aimed at the production of agricultural products in the newly created and planned agroparks, as well as to increase their export potential and the acquisition of new productive varieties for this purpose.
