According to Giorgi Svanidze, President of the International Olive Council, it is welcome that Georgia is a member of the International Olive Council — an organization that oversees 90% of the world's olive revenue and 74% of its trade. Therefore, being part of this organization is a step forward for Georgia. He says that Georgia's olive production has only recently begun, and the country genuinely needs markets.
"Imagine — the olive oil produced in Georgia has demonstrated very high quality. Sicilian oil is considered the finest on the global market, and Georgian olive oil has, in fact, matched it by every standard.
This is precisely what allows more investors to become interested in producing this oil in Georgia. It also allows us to enter the global market more easily. We are developing step by step: first there was olive oil, then table olives, and now soap. I believe these volumes will grow. At this stage, we are working on future expansion," Giorgi Svanidze told AIPRESS.
