Walnuts.ge plans to double walnut processing capacity to 160 tonnes per day

Georgian producer Walnuts.ge intends to lift its walnut-processing capacity from 80 to 160 tonnes per day in 2027. Director Davit Bukhnikashvili described the plan in an interview published by BM.GE on 9 November. The larger capacity is a target, not a facility already operating at that rate.

The director said more than GEL 30 million had already been invested in the plant's construction and equipment. The company plans to invest a further GEL 10 million and increase its workforce from 16 to 25 employees.

Walnuts.ge links the planned expansion to more orchards entering productive years and farmers' growing need for rapid handling of the harvest. The business grows walnuts itself and also seeks to offer additional processing services to other producers.

According to its director, almost all current sales are made in Georgia. Deliveries to several European markets are being tested, and export expansion will partly depend on the plant's future output. Investment, staffing and capacity figures are company statements reported in an interview, not independently verified Geostat data.
