Earlier Report Observations

The rye market in Georgia underwent a significant structural shift between 2018 and 2023. The total market volume dropped sharply from 245.6 tons in 2018 to 200.6 tons in 2019, a contraction of over 18%, which was entirely attributable to a collapse in imports from 50 tons to just 4.1 tons. Domestic production remained remarkably steady throughout the period, hovering between 195.6 and 196.6 tons annually.

Following the import collapse in 2019, the market volume stabilized around 196 tons per year from 2020 to 2023. Imports fell to negligible levels, effectively ceasing as a meaningful source of supply. With exports consistently at zero, the Georgian rye market became almost entirely supplied by stable domestic production, establishing a new equilibrium for consumption.
