The opportunities for agriculture development of Georgia also became the subject to panel discussion. Agricultural investment opportunities of the country were introduced to the Honorary Consuls by the Director of the Rural Development Agency, Mr. Ilia Tamarashvili. 

„The programs of Rural Development Agency  support to development of each component of agricultural value chain in Georgia and Georgian quality agricultural products are more available at the international markets. We actively work to ensure the solid position of Georgian agricultural products as at local, so at international market. Agriculture tends to incur high risks, but through state programs, the investment to the mentioned field becomes more attractive. With our availability to cheap credit, we do support the start-up capital creation through the grant component. There are many examples of founding the companies in Georgia by foreigner investors and investment to the agricultural field” – Mr. Ilia Tamarashvili said.
