Gocha Chkhaidze, the founder of company "Askaneli" declares, that labor force shortage is noticed in all segments, including the production process. The businessman cites emigration as the main reason for the challenge.
"It is quite difficult to find professional staff and highly qualified winemakers. We also have a problem in the engineering direction, from a technical point of view, there is a shortage of professional agronomists.

However, despite all this, our company is growing, we look to the future with optimism", says Gocha Chkhaidze.
