The development of olive cultivation in Georgia began in 2009 with the planting of the first grove by Giorgi Svanidze in his native village of Mashnari, Kakheti. Today, it spans more than 1,500 hectares across the Kakheti region
Through our initiative, Georgia became a member of the International Olive Council (IOC), positioning the country as a premium olive producer on the global stage. Giorgi Svanidze was elected President of the Council for two consecutive terms (2019–2020 and 2020–2021), and today proudly holds the title of Honorary President
