In 2025, the Government of Georgia (GoG) continued subsidizing non-standard (lower-quality) tangerines, allocating 2.6 million GEL to the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. Local citrus processing companies that purchased non-standard tangerines from farmers for at least 40 tetri per kilogram, received a 35-tetri subsidy from the government. Tangerine production declined in 2024 by around 25% compared to 2023, decreasing from 66.1 thousand tons to 49.8 thousand tons. The previous increases have been volatile and unstable.
Tangerine production is highly concentrated in the Adjara region, which accounted for an average of 73% of total output during 2014–2024, followed by Mtskheta-Mtianeti with around 20%. Regarding exports, tangerine volumes increased steadily from 40.6 thousand tons in 2019 to 58.0 thousand tons in 2021, before declining in 2022 and partially recovering in 2023-2024. Unit values remained relatively stable at around USD 0.5-0.6 per ton. Export volumes declined again in 2025. CIS countries remain the dominant export destination, accounting for over 98% of total tangerine export value on average during 2014–2025. In contrast, the EU’s share is marginal, typically below 2%, with exports to the EU absent or negligible in several years.
