Written by

Georgian fruit and citrus fruit exports to Russia will be resumed on October 14th with permission of Rosselkhoznadzor. According to Rosselkhoznadzor representatives the first fruit to be exported to Russia will be mandarins.

The import of Georgian vegetables, fruit, water, and wine was banned in 2006 over quality issues. In 2013 Rosselkhoznadzor experts inspected a number of Georgian enterprises. As a result the embargo on Georgian tea and nuts was cancelled in the middle of 2013.

The renewal of Georgian exports will be in autumn and winter, when citrus fruit, especially mandarins, are in high demand in Russia. Georgia intends to export 70,000 tons of mandarins to Russia in 2013.
