U.S. Companies Travel on Trade Mission to Republic of Georgia

Thirteen U.S. companies will meet with over 170 Georgian businesses in a Trade and Investment Mission to Tbilisi, Georgia, July 12-15. The primary aim of the mission is to facilitate trade and investment particularly in agricultural processing equipment, inputs, livestock genetics, ready-to-eat products, meat and poultry, and grain and feed sectors. Gary Groves, assistant deputy administrator for the Foreign Agriculture Service will lead the mission.

Georgia offers numerous opportunities to U.S. companies. The World Bank's annual "Doing Business" report currently ranks Georgia 11th in the world for ease of doing business. Its educated labor force, strategic geographic location between Europe and Asia, and investment-friendly atmosphere make Georgia an attractive investment site.
