The fruit processing enterprise equipped with modern standards "Kareli Agro-Industrial Company" LLC was established in 2015, in Kareli Municipality, with the support of the financial assistance program of N(N)LE "Agricultural Projects Management Agency". The Company buys the fruit from about 100 local farmers, employs 35 persons and produces 50-60 tons of the various dried fruits annually. At present, the products are sold on the local market, but the company plans to export them in perspective. In January 2017, "Kareli Agro-Industrial Company" LLC was awarded ISO 22000:2005 certification by the British Company Lloyds Register Assurance Quality. It became possible within the framework of the cooperation between USAID/REAP and N(N)LE "Agricultural Projects Management Agency" aiming to introduce the food safety management systems and standards in the beneficiary enterprises, with the joint efforts and co-financing of USAID/REAP and the Agency (50% - USAID/REAP, 30% - Agency and 20%- company). It is likely that upon certification "Kareli Agro-Industrial Company" LLC will be able to establish the business ties with more foreign buyers. Within the framework of the agreement of cooperation between USAID/REAP and the Agency, at present USAID/REAP and the Agency provide assistance to 13 agro-businesses in introduction of HACCP system and ISO 22 000 standard.
