Sopo, a 31-year-old from Tsalka, is taking her first steps towards building a small cheese business with her mother.
“I’m planning to start a small cheese making business,” she says. “Step by step, my mother and I are laying the foundations for a family-run business focused on quality.

I try to help as best I can by sharing details about projects, training, exhibitions or anything else that might help their businesses grow.”
