A representative of Eximcrop said that the idea of creating an avocado hub in Georgia is justified. “Georgia has an attractive and strategically interesting place for business, as well as a light bureaucracy here, which gives us grounds for positive expectations,” says Vakhtang Gogaladze.
EastFruit wrote that the first Kenyan avocado logistics center opened in Gori in May.
