Here's a straight translation:
"Svanidze Olive" opens a new, modern olive processing plant — biological production, energy efficiency, and the highest oil quality, placing Georgia on the international map
In the Taribana valley of Georgia's Kakheti region, "Svanidze Olive" has officially opened a new, modern olive processing plant — a project that sets an entirely new standard in the history of Georgian olive oil production.
The new facility stands out for its eco-friendly approach and innovative technology — here it produces the highest-quality Extra Virgin olive oil and marinades.
The plant is equipped with machinery from the world's leading brands — Italian and German production systems that comply with European standards. The plant is designed to process up to 150 tonnes of fruit per day, supporting not only the growth of local production but also the expansion of exports.
One of the plant's main advantages is its location — in the immediate vicinity of the olive groves. This makes it possible to begin the pressing process within just one hour of harvesting, significantly reducing the acidity index and ensuring the production of the highest-quality oil, which retains all of its natural vitamins, antioxidants, and aromatic qualities.
As part of the project, up to 150 new seasonal jobs were created, most of which were filled by the local population. The plant will make a significant contribution to strengthening the regional economy and to raising the competitiveness of Georgian agricultural production on the international market.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of the government, the diplomatic corps, international organizations, and the private sector.
"This plant is not merely a space for producing olive oil — it is a demonstration of Georgia's capability to produce the highest-quality product through an eco-friendly approach and innovative technology, powered solely by wood energy, by way of natural production. The facility will serve not only the Svanidze groves but will also take in the olive harvest of farmers across all of Georgia. Our goal is to make Georgia one of the leading producers on the world olive map," said Giorgi Svanidze, founder of "Svanidze Olive," at the plant's opening.
We remind you that the founder of Georgian olive cultivation is Giorgi Svanidze, who in 2009 planted the first saplings on the fertile soil of Kakheti, together with partners.
Since 2019, Georgia has been a member country of the UN organization "International Olive Council," which provides significant support for the global development of the olive sector and the adoption of international standards. Giorgi Svanidze was twice elected president of this organization, which is an important step in positioning Georgia's olive production on the international stage.
