He said that the main goal is to avoid an absurd increase in prices and not to have an interruption in the food supply.

Monitoring is carried out every day to protect the interests of the population as much as possible,” said Davitashvili.

He noted that based on the Georgian supply chain of supermarkets there is no any foundation for interruption in the food supply.
