"We can’t surprise the world with cheap products, we are not competitive in this field. Our future is in the quality of products ", Mariam Jorjadze, the Director of Elkana said.
“Most of the certified bio-farmers are producing wine today, because when they got in trouble, everyone went to get certificates. It is a guarantee of better sales. We have many bio-winemakers who sell their certified wine for a very high price. Now big companies have also moved on to bio-production because it guarantees quality”, Jorjadze said.
According to her, the agricultural sector is more hampered by the lack of knowledge of farmers rather than brown marmorated stink bugs. They still do not know that nuts should be treated as well as vines, since nuts have become an industrial culture, it requires attention. According to Jorjadze, unlike Georgia, there are means of supporting and protecting bio-farming in Europe and it is not expensive.
