Agronet Set to Build Walnut Processing Plants in Georgia

Company "Agronet" plans to build two walnut processing plants in Georgia- Kakheti and Marneuli. Investment volume reaches 2 million EUR. The construction will continue for two years. 

The founder of Agronet considers Turkey as a key market for Georgian walnut as the neighboring country imports this product from other countries. 

Ahmed Kahraman-Gogrochadze, the founder of Agronet also plans to establish large cooperatives in Georgia.

“There are cooperatives in Turkey with 150,000 members. All members bring harvest that are classified by calibrates. The cooperative finds partners abroad and sells the products. We have the same plan in Georgia. For more illustration, not all farmers can build enterprises and they grow nuts up to 10 ha. That's why we are going to work in this direction as well,” the businessman said.

Agronet Company has been operating in Georgia for 13 years and their focus is agriculture. The company has a nursery, agro-tech and trades with fertilizers. Their holding also includes company Geolive, which owns olive gardens in Kakheti and produces Georgian olive oil. The company owns walnut gardens and sells seedlings.
