Why Georgian hazelnuts
Black Sea coast is considered to be the most suitable region for growing. Accordingly, Georgia is one of the few places that has a perfect location for hazelnut cultivation.
Besides, abundance of microzones in Georgia creates possibilities to grow pollution-free and high-quality products, meeting all international requirements. At present, IG Agro LLC owns 645 ha hazelnut orchards in Samegrelo region, which is located nearby the Black Sea.
The main hazelnut varieties grown there are Anakliuri and Giffoni. Anakliuri is at the first place among the widely spread varieties in Georgia. The variety has vigorous growth, the fruit is round, the percent kernel is 50-52%, the fat content is 67-68%, the medium yield is 6-6.5 kg per bush.
Giffoni is among the most highly appreciated Italian hazelnut cultivars due to its round kernels and excellent processing quality.
Today, Georgia is among five largest producers of hazelnuts in the world, mostly supplying EU countries. Despite the world lockdown, exports of hazelnuts from Georgia increased in 2020. Top 3 importers of Georgian hazelnuts are Germany, Italy and Poland.
