Georgian Blueberry Exports Reach Record High – Growth in Price and Demand Continues

In the summer of 2025, Georgia’s blueberry export sector has reached an all-time high, signaling not just an internal success in agriculture, but also a powerful indicator of the country’s broader foreign trade performance. According to official data from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, between May 1 and July 8, Georgia exported over 5,350 tons of blueberries—a 23% increase compared to the same period last year. Even more impressively, the export value grew by 40%, surpassing $10.4 million.

Rising Prices Reflect Quality and Global Demand

The average export price per kilogram of blueberries climbed to $6.8, marking a 14% year-over-year increase. This upward trend reflects:

• Improved product quality
• Stronger competitiveness
• Rising international demand

Georgian blueberries are now receiving attention on international rating platforms, reinforcing their status as a premium agricultural product.

Expanding Export Geography

While Russia remains the leading buyer—importing 5,018 tons—Georgia’s blueberries are now reaching a much broader market, including:

• Poland
• Germany
• United Arab Emirates
• Netherlands
• Armenia
• Qatar
• India

This diversification demonstrates that Georgian blueberries are breaking out of their traditional regional export niche, capturing new, high-potential global markets.

Strategic Importance for Georgia’s Agriculture

These results are a clear reflection of improved agricultural management and the integration of modern technologies into Georgian farming. Blueberries have become not only a successful niche crop, but also a flagship export product for the country.

From an economic standpoint, this booming sector supports:

• Job creation
• Increased regional income
• Ongoing modernization of the agricultural sector

Looking Ahead

The 2025 trend confirms that Georgia’s blueberry potential is far from exhausted. With growing demand and expanding export destinations, the country is well-positioned to further strengthen its position in global fruit markets in the years ahead.

Georgian blueberries are no longer just a local success story—they are a rising symbol of export excellence and agricultural innovation on the international stage.
