The head of the ministry emphasized that there is a serious opportunity for cooperation between Georgia and Hungary in seed production. Our country is ready to deliver high-quality products to the Caucasus country, so that they can be further propagated in accordance with local conditions and reach other eastern markets. It would be an important step forward if Georgian specialists would come to our country and study the cultivation methods and technologies here. Another possibility lies in closer cooperation at the level of universities and research institutes. The mutual exchange of professionals and students can further strengthen this process.

In addition, there are serious opportunities for the study of fruit varieties, especially peaches and tomatoes. The minister drew attention to the rich heritage of the Georgian grape and wine culture, which should be further expanded not only in the field of trade, but also in the field of science. Hungarian specialists are also ready to share their knowledge and technological know-how in this field. The head of the ministry also reported that the Hungarian food and processing industry is undergoing a comprehensive renewal, so Georgian raw materials can be an opportunity for our country as well.
