There are no premium-quality nuts in Georgia

Temur Gogia, CEO of Hazelnut Gorgia, believes that there are no top quality nuts in Georgia. According to him, the Association of Hazelnut Producers of Georgia is not telling the truth, claiming that this year 70% of the hazelnut harvest falls on a premium quality product. This is how Temur Gogia reacted to the statement of the head of the Association of Hazelnut Producers of Georgia that “this year, nuts of the highest quality will cost up to 7 lari per kg, low-quality ones - 3.50-4 lari,” Business Georgia reports. “We are dealing with absolute amateurism, because there are no high quality nuts in Georgia. This statement is a provocation and misleading people, and it caused a serious stir among the farmers. Premium quality nuts are not grown in Georgia, they are only in Turkey,” the businessman said.
