According to the amendments to the state program Plant the Future, as part of the crop funding subcomponent, the program beneficiaries will be able to purchase imported seedlings from local companies. Seedlings will be imported by an intermediary companies, that will consolidate orders and import from foreign nursery companies a minimum critical number of seedlings.

Beneficiaries are no longer required to purchase seedlings through direct import.This change is due to the fact that the beneficiaries were not able to purchase seedlings for perennial gardens through direct import - foreign nursery farms were not interested in the sale of a small number of products.

Implementation of the program Plant the Future was launched by the Agriculture and Rural Development Agency of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture in March, 2015.

The program aims at efficient use of agricultural lands in Georgia through the cultivation of perennial crops. As a result, imported products will be replaced with Georgian products, exports will be increased, supply of raw materials for processing plants will be simplified and socio-economic conditions of rural population will be improved.

New orchards have been planted on 7,799 hectares throughout Georgia as part of the program Plant the Future. State funding amounts to GEL 43,151,000.
