Georgia is getting ready for a rich and high quality hazelnut harvest season during which thousands of tonnes of hazelnuts will be picked and sold locally or exported.

 

This year more than 40,000 tonnes of hazelnut are expected to be harvested, while last year Georgian farmers picked just 17,000 tonnes of hazelnut.

 

Executive Director of Georgian Hazelnut Growers Association Giorgi Todua told Agenda.ge that the harvest will start in about two weeks and will last until the end of August.

 

Todua said that most of the harvested hazelnuts will be exported to European markets as the “demand is very high for Georgian hazelnuts there”.

 

Hazelnut harvest will take place in the Georgian regions of Samegrelo, Guria, Adjara and Imereti.
