One voice for the industry
The industry has more than 25,000 businesses and over 290,000 jobs, yet it has never had a single representative body on this scale. İİQA was founded to fill this gap: it represents the industry’s interests, raises professionalism and introduces Azerbaijani cuisine to the world.
