Aviation and Agriculture
Saturday, 29 September, 2012
The YFN Georgia blog offers an interesting angle to the opening of the new Kutaisi airport:
A major hindrance to the development of high-value horticulture exports from western Georgia is the limited availability of air freight capacity from Batumi Airport. Most flights from Batumi are oriented towards Ukraine; only one service to the Persian Gulf is available, to Kuwait City. Hopefully, Kutaisi will offer airfreight routes to Dubai and Qatar, which will provide new markets for high-value cut flowers, citrus, and fresh herbs.
Check out the other blog posts on agriculture in Georgia and Eastern Europe. Interesting throughout.
