Georgia Exports and Value Chain Study

Analyzing how Georgia can diversify its exports, this report shows how it could potentially ramp up its pharmaceutical, apparel, jewelry, and almond exports, and assesses how an effective export strategy would drive more resilient economic growth. Based on stakeholder interviews, it considers the trends, value chains, and opportunities for each of the high potential sectors and explores how Georgia can leverage its location, favorable business environment, and free-trade agreements. Emphasizing the need for greater innovation and strong government support, it recommends taking a “Team Georgia” approach that centers on building an ecosystem to improve export promotion, increase target market access, and support exporters.
