As the Deputy Minister explains in a conversation with us, the Georgian cheese and honey export to the Indian market is also planned, but Janashia notes that export of this type of products into the Indian market is governed by the laws of the country. Therefore, Indian specialists will examine Georgian production first and after the appropriate conclusions it will be possible to hold specific negotiations.

DeleteGeorgian skin contact whites could be very successful with Indian cuisine! - Look at how well they go with spicy Mingrelian dishes. Most of the time 'western European' wines just fight with Indian food and are normally overwhelmed, reds are often made to seem hot by the chili, at best, frankly they seem to just not do a lot. There is a chance for Georgia here. The market is small but it is developing.
