Georgia accounts for 6.7% of the global hazelnut market

In 2021, Georgia accounted for 6.7% of global hazelnut exports. Almost all of Georgia's hazelnuts (97.7%) are produced in five regions.

Hazelnut prices have been on a downward trend in 2022, with the cost price of 1kg of nuts in all regions decreasing by an average of 11.3% year-on-year. These lower prices have had a negative impact on the profitability of hazelnut production in Georgia.
