The third project approved today by the Government was about creating a milk processing plant in Kumisi village in Georgia’s Gardabani region. About 100,000 GEL (about $40,325/€36,590*) will be spent on building the new plant.
Georgian tea will be exported to Ukraine and the Czech Republic … [while] nuts will be exported to Poland and Turkey. About 35 people will be employed at the nut factory,” said Georgia’s Deputy Economy Minister Davit Khutsishvili.
