Meanwhile, the prices of Cheese, Eggs, and Yeast decreased by 6.4%, 4.3%, and 1.9%, respectively.

When considering average prices, Tbilisi is currently the most expensive market for khachapuri ingredients, with the cost of making one standard Imeretian khachapuri standing at 6.34 GEL—9.6% higher than the national average. In contrast, Kutaisi is the most affordable location, where a single khachapuri costs 5.47 GEL. The 0.87 GEL difference between the most expensive city, Tbilisi, and the cheapest, Kutaisi, can be attributed to the tourism season. Tbilisi is a popular destination for tourists during the summer, which drives up prices, while Imereti (Kutaisi) is the largest milk-producing region in Georgia, leading to price drops during the peak milk production season.
