The country has already been growing brown and light-brown cotton. However, varieties of red, green, light pink and blue cotton are in the offing. The climate of Azerbaijan makes it possible to grow such varieties of cotton. The seeds come from China.

Cultivation of colored cotton makes it possible not to use chemical dyes for dyeing children's clothes but to make clothes from colored cotton. This variety of cotton is superior to traditional cotton in quality and fineness of the fiber. The country is reviving cotton production. The plan is to increase the crop area of cotton by about three times. The goal is to bring cotton production up to 5,00,000 tons by 2022 from the current 2,60,000 tons.

At the beginning of the eighties, Azerbaijan harvested up to a million tons of cotton a year. But then cotton growing declined and it could not receive the necessary investments for revival for a long time after that. Cotton is a drought-resistant plant, but it does not tolerate frost and low temperatures, and Azerbaijan meets these parameters. Cotton is seen as an alternative to the non-oil sector since it is used in various areas of life.
