According to Minister of Agriculture of Georgia Levan Davitashvili, in 2021, the Republic of Georgia will export record volumes of peaches and apples. He stated that Georgia has already exported 24,000 tons of the fruit.
According to Davitashvili, the state has solved problems with product quality and infrastructure, lack of refrigeration equipment: "If several years ago there was one farm, today there are more than 40 refrigeration farms in Chumlaki settlement alone. The creation of infrastructure is co-financed by the state. All this ensures the competitiveness of Georgian peaches in export markets.”
As of July 25, Georgia exported 18.9 tons of peaches and nectarines worth $16.9 million. Compared to the same period last year, exports of peaches and nectarines increased by 6,300 tons in quantitative terms, and in value - by $5.9 million.
