Top 5 Georgian Wheat Farmers of 2024 Benefit from Certified Seeds

Georgian farmers are increasingly turning to certified wheat seed materials from "Agrosphere" and the Austrian company Saatbau, reaping the benefits of varieties specifically adapted to the local Georgian climate and agricultural challenges. These seeds are known for their resistance to frost, drought, diseases, and pests, enabling farmers to harvest healthy crops with minimal losses.

This year's wheat harvest has again proven successful for those who opted for these particular seed varieties. Notably, the highest yields were recorded in Marneuli and Lagodekhi, with the Balitus variety showing the most impressive results. The average yield from these seeds reached 7-8 tons per hectare. Farmers Bachuki Lomidze and Aleksandre Mchedlidze notably achieved maximum output, utilizing almost the full potential of the seed material.

Saatbau has been actively involved in selecting and producing wheat varieties suited to the Georgian environment since 2014. Currently, five Saatbau wheat varieties are available in Georgia: Amycus, Gallus, Amandus, Balitus, and Apexus. All wheat produced by Saatbau and Agrosphere in Georgia meets both Georgian and European certification standards.

Currently, promotional pricing is available. The second reproduction of 1 kg of Amycus and Gallus is selling for only 1 GEL, and the first reproduction of all five varieties is available for 1.35 GEL each.
