Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the Georgian market for fresh or chilled tomatoes showed significant volatility in both volume and value. Market volume increased steadily from 67 222 tonnes in 2018 to a high of 81 732 tonnes in 2020, followed by a contraction over the next two years and a recovery to 78 900 tonnes in 2023.

In monetary terms, the market reached its highest value of 68.5 million USD in 2019, which preceded the volume peak. After 2019, market value declined for three consecutive years to 55.5 million USD in 2022, before rebounding strongly to 73.3 million USD in 2023.

The shifts in overall market size were accompanied by considerable variations in domestic production and import levels. For instance, rising imports in recent years contributed to the market's recovery in 2023, offsetting periods of lower domestic output.
