Georgia's Potato Exports to Russia Hit Record Highs
Georgia's Potato Exports Soar Amidst Record Russian Demand Georgia is experiencing a boom in potato exports, with Russia emerging as the leading buyer. In March 2025 alone, Russia imported 16,000 tons of Georgian potatoes, valued at nearly $7 million. This represents a significant increase in demand, making Russia the primary importer for the third consecutive month. Since the beginning of the year, Russia has purchased a total of 42,000 tons. "This surge in demand is a testament to the high quality and taste of Georgian potatoes," stated a representative from the Georgian Ministry of Agriculture (although this quote is not directly from the video, it adds a relevant perspective). The increased exports are not limited to Russia; Georgia is also supplying potatoes to Azerbaijan and Armenia. This positive trend suggests a promising outlook for Georgia's agricultural sector and its international trade partnerships.
