According to the Minister of Agriculture, Levan Davitashvili, the sales of the wine sector have decreased under the influence of the pandemic. The decrease is 10-15% comparing to the same period of the last year.
"We have had numerous meetings with representatives of wine companies, entrepreneurs and viticulturists. We know that due to the pandemic, tourism-related sectors, including the wine sector, have some difficulties with sales.
Export sales in some markets have declined. The HOREKA sector - hotels, restaurants, cafes, where the product is delivered directly, was actually closed due to the pandemic.
This factor has been reflected in wine sales as well. Our sales have decreased by over 10-15% compared to the same period of the previous year,”said the Minister of Environment and Agriculture.
