"We must build several apple processing factories, which is part of "one hundred enterprises" program and starting with infant food, we have to produce everything locally. I personally spoke with the investors from Switzerland and some other countries and it is quite possible to do it. It must be noted, that Georgian apple is wonderful for diet products. This is part of our 50-day preparation program of overcoming poverty", stated the President of Georgia.
