With the support of the National Wine Agency of Georgia, 16 Georgian wine producing companies participated in the international food and beverage exhibition Foodex Japan 2024 held in Tokyo, Japan.

"The awareness of Georgian wine in the Asian market, particularly, Japan, is increasing every year, which is reflected in specific figures. According to the data of January-February 2024, 28 thousand liters of wine were exported to Japan, which is 549% more than the indicator of the same period of 2023. With the support of the National Wine Agency and the Embassy of Georgia in Japan, a number of important events are planned to be held this year in order to popularize Georgian wine in Japan. The goal of the agency is to introduce the world, including Japan, that wine and winemaking are a constituent part of the ancient Georgian culture," - the Deputy Chairman of the National Wine Agency of Georgia, Davit Tkemaladze, said.

As the representatives of the Georgian wine producing companies pointed out, participation in the Foodex Japan 2024 exhibition provides an opportunity to find new trade partners and increase exports, as well as introduce Georgian wine to the Japanese public and promote Georgian wine in general.
