The program of subsidizing the purchase of non-standard apples will operate in Georgia this season as well

Georgia will continue the state program to subsidize the purchase of non-standard apples this year, EastFruit reports. The press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia clarifies that the terms of the program have not changed since last year. The Rural Development Agency will reimburse processing companies 0.10 lari per kilogram if they accept non-standard apples from farmers at a price of at least 0.25 lari per kilogram. The program covers the period until December 15, 2024. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the program, a special working group will coordinate the process of handing over apples on the ground, Newsgeorgia reports. Fruit processing enterprises that wish to receive subsidies are required to register with the coordination headquarters electronically.
