According to Irakli Tsikhistavi, director of the oil importing company Alpha, oil price will increase by about 10% in the local market in June.

"Increasing the export tax, of course, will increase the oil price . The price of imported oil will increase by about 10% in June. Today, the price of 1 liter of oil is GEL 9, due to the export price, the price of oil will increase by GEL 1,” said the director of the importing company.

The company "Alpha" imports sunflower oil under the brand "Baraka". The company imports 500-600 tons of oil per month.
