Otar Shamugia: "Next year, GEL 14 million will be spent from the budget to promote Georgian wine"

The Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. Otar Shamugia spoke about the indicators and potential of Georgian wine export in the "Business Partner" program, noting that last year's record wine export rate will increase even more this year.

"The increase in export figures resulted from our efforts and active work to plan as many events as possible in those priority markets, where our goal is to promote Georgian wine.

Next year, GEL 14 million will be spent from the budget to promote Georgian wine in many countries around the world, including the United States of America, the European market, and China. In this direction, we are launching an active campaign in South Korea. 

It should be mentioned, that our exports to the American and Japanese markets have increased by approximately 40%. As a result, we will provide more support to make Georgian wine even more popular; we will assist entrepreneurs even more so that they can export more products from the country," Mr. Otar Shamugia stated.
