"As you know, it includes both local exports and re-exports, but we have a very positive trend in the growth of local exports. In November 2021, the export of local Georgian production increased by 44.1%, which, if we compare it with 2019, i.e. the pre-pandemic period, we have an increase of almost 49% here as well. Exports of local products in November amounted to 325.2 million dollars, and if we summarize the 11 months, even in this period, the growth of exports of domestic products led to an increase in exports as a whole - we have 28.7% growth in local exports in these 11 months. Sales of locally produced products to overseas markets exceeded $ 2.8 billion.

We can also judge the geography, which is quite diversified and it means that our market is not dependent on any particular separate market and covers the maximum number of countries. We have seen a rapid growth in the product sales across the countries of the region, as well as in China and the USA - these two geographies are characterized by high growth rates; sales of our Georgian products are growing rapidly there.

Th mining and heavy industry traditionally leads, including copper ores, ferroalloys and nitrogen fertilizers, but it is noteworthy that this group is followed by agricultural products - food industry – taking the third or fourth position,” - Natia Turnava stated.
