The “Land-Poor-Farmers Assistance Spring Project” started in 2013. The project’s goal is to support rural residents in establishing sustainable farms.
The objective of the assistance program is the promotion of agro-technical activities (plowing) for cultivating annual crops and supplying the industrial inputs (fertilizers and/or seeds and/or plant protection products); and the promotion of the activities of those land-poor-farmers who only have perennial crops on their lands (the provision of fertilizers and/or plant protection products). This project gives farmers an opportunity to cultivate crops on lands that have not been plowed for years.

However, many analyses have shown that Georgia has a comparative advantage in agricultural production. This suggests there is a large potential for expanding agricultural exports from Georgia.
The current structure of Georgia’s agricultural exports is highly concentrated:
• Between 2009 and 2014, four product categories (nuts; alcohol, spirits and liqueurs; wine; mineral waters) accounted for 75% of all agricultural exports from Georgia;
