Earthquake aftermath: Turkish vegetables become more expensive for Georgian buyers
The winter market for fresh fruits and vegetables in Georgia is heavily dependent on imports from Turkey. Last week, the EastFruit wholesale price monitoring results showed an increase in prices for almost all imported vegetables. According to importers and wholesalers, the increase is associated with the consequences of the devastating earthquake on the Turkish Syrian border on February 6.
