Georgia to creat

Nodar Nadaria, a geodesist by profession, is the first person in Georgia to create a snail farm. After collaborating with American colleagues, he tried farming nuts, and then kiwi. He got interested in this unusual production for Georgia a while ago. Thanks to the United Agrocredit project, he brought 300,000 snails to Georgia from Italy, housing them on six hectares of land. Profitability is 90% and the product is in deficit in Italy. The Italians assured him before he started the business that they would export as much of the production from Georgia as possible. This year, his first ‘harvest’ brought Nodar up to 20 tons of snails. There are 10 people employed on the snail farm and Nodar plans to build an industrial enterprise and open an educational center.

Wine Ness

How can wine simplify communication between people? The answer to that question was found by two 20-year-olds, Davit Migineishvili and Ana Kurdadze. Wine Ness is a brand new bottling of Saperavi from the village of Anagi, Kakheti. Pure wine has been stored in Qvevri and aims to help people express their thoughts and emotions. How, you ask? Each wine label is unique and sincere, as it is specially made for the customer who orders it. Soon, they plan to add production of Tvishi wine and then to open up a wine bar.

Poteria

Poteria is a social studio-enterprise from Etsia which aims to keep the traditions of Georgian handcrafting and involve women who conflict with the law. The founders of Estia, three friends: Elisabed Dimitriadi, Natia Nozadze, and Natia Kalmakhelidze, decided to make their job more efficient and valuable, transforming their studio into a social studio-enterprise. The studio welcomes anyone interested in handcrafting and clay. Poteria also provides an educational course on pottery. After one year of active work, the enterprise-studio has become a space where one can buy unique clay items, have creative relaxation, and become enlightened in the traditional Georgian handcrafting – all 3 in 1.
