Swiss chocolate producer Camille Bloch, which made a 40-million GEL investment in the Kakheti region of Georgia and planted hazelnut orchards on 50 ha of land, expects its first hazelnut harvest until 2025.
Hazelnuts harvested in Georgia will be used for Camille Bloch’s famous chocolates.
Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava met Daniel Bloch, the president and owner of the company.
“We are ready to stand by the company as much as possible and support it within the “Produce in Georgia” state program”, Turnava said after the meeting.
She said European investments brought not only money to Georgia and job creation, but also new knowledge, technologies and experience “which is so important for our agriculture sector”.
Camille Bloch entered Georgia in 2020 with the support of the country’s investment attraction agency, Enterprise Georgia.
