Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for shelled almonds in Georgia expanded from 496 tons in 2018 to 1 066 tons in 2023, despite a temporary dip in 2020. The initial growth in 2019 was supported by a regulatory exemption that freed small traders from using cash registers until 2020, facilitating retail operations and encouraging higher imports. In 2022, the continued rise in imports and market size was further aided by the dominance of Turkish Cargo in the air freight sector, which streamlined logistics for inbound shipments.

Domestic almond production fluctuated during the period, while imports steadily climbed, becoming the primary driver of market expansion. By 2023, imports reached 1 372 tons, pushing the total market volume above 1 000 tons. This upward trend aligns with a broader shift in consumer demand toward environmentally friendly and healthy products, which bolstered the appeal of shelled almonds.
