We supply about 50 restaurants with high-quality Angus steaks. Accordingly, I plan to increase the farm, I have already placed the order and 100 Angus will arrive in 1.5 months, after that I will place the order again. The productivity of this product will increase by 40 tons per year, for which we will invest about $ 50,000, ”said Otar Kobakhidze, adding that today the final product of the farm is about 12 tons of meat per year and the farm employs 10 people.
The founder of Angus Group spoke about the difficulties of partnering with restaurants, noting that after the pandemic, all businesses faced challenges.
''Paying is a problem today, which is a challenge for my business. In the post-pandemic period, restaurants also had problems and some of them were even closed. There is a demand for Angus meat from restaurants, however, due to financial difficulties, some of them are unable to pay. We cooperate with many restaurants, but today I am focusing on the store, ”Otar Kobakhidze told BM.GE.
