Earlier Report Observations
The market for wheat and meslin flour and cereals in Georgia showed considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. Market volume reached its highest point at 408 thousand tons in 2020, then contracted to 316 thousand tons by the end of the period. In value terms, the market size peaked at 164 million USD in 2021 before falling to 115 million USD in 2023.
This overall decline in volume was driven by a sharp drop in domestic production, which more than halved from 370 thousand tons in 2018 to 177 thousand tons in 2023. Imports rose substantially over the same period, growing from 16 thousand tons to 139 thousand tons, which partially compensated for the lower local output. The import surge was most significant in 2022, reaching 183 thousand tons.
