A two-day conference on efficient production and marketing of Georgian fruits and berries concludes today in Tbilisi. Attracting producers from Georgia, the event focused on helping local growers take advantage of numerous investment and market opportunities, both locally and internationally, by sharing best practices in apple, pear and berry production, storage, freezing, handling and marketing.

The event is part of a larger FAO and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) initiative aimed at supporting producers in various horticulture value chains, including berries, apples and pears, in Georgia, Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
