Georgian blueberries, tomatoes and greens have a high chance of making an impression in Qatar.
With the support of state program ‘Produce in Georgia’ local company Uvie's Berries has exported blueberries, tomatoes, coriander, parsley, dill and other greens to Qatar recently.
In June this year the need to find new exporter countries and companies and especially food-product producing companies has emerged in Qatar. Large Qatar companies addressed the Georgian Embassy in Qatar to help them find potential partners in Georgia,” announced Georgia’s Ministry of Economy.
For this reason representatives from the export promotion department of ‘Produce in Georgia’ contacted more than 100 private companies and provided all information about these companies to the Qatari side,” read the statement from the Ministry.
Uvie's Berries is one of the Georgian companies that has already successfully completed negotiations with the Qatari side. As a result, the Georgian company has signed a contract with hypermarket network in Qatar ‘Lulu’ and supplies the hypermarket with Georgian blueberries and greens.
Currently, Qatar is facing economic isolation from some of its neighbours including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt due to its alleged involvement in terrorism.
