Starting June 10, Georgia will impose a duty on flour imports to safeguard local wheat producers, who are currently facing challenges as their produce remains unsold due to the closure of flour mills. This situation arose after Russia's imposition of a duty on wheat in 2021, leading to a surge in flour imports.
