Georgia's parliamentary majority leader, Irkli Kirchalia, said the country has important economic and trade ties with Russia. He noted that Rosalkhozandzor experts were supposed to arrive on November 2 to familiarize themselves with the phytosanitary certification system for fox and stone fruit crops exported to the Russian Federation, but whether the visit will take place will be confirmed separately. According to him, Russian factories pay Georgian factories for importing products, and the authorities' task is to help local factories as much as possible.
