After regaining its independence, Georgia satisfied around 15% of its annual consumption, which is up to 800, 000 tons. Wheat production in Georgia is poor concerning the quality. The price of the wheat consumed in Georgia is determined according to world standards. It is approximately 300 USD per metric ton.
