📈🥛 Dairy products in Georgia will soon rise in price by 15-20%.
According to the owner of the Kvarelsky Nursery dairy farm, Lasha Papashvili, the cost will increase in the next 3-4 months. There are several reasons:
📍the closure of the Russian market, which is the main source of wheat exports (94%)
📍 the economy significantly depends on imports of corn and barley, which are imported from Russia and Ukraine
📍 the price of fuel increases, while transportation is difficult due to bad weather

❤️❄️ Tbilisi is covered up and there is snow all over the city.
Abnormal snowfalls continue throughout March. Usually there are snowdrifts at this time in Gudauri and in ski resorts, but in Tbilisi itself, snow usually melts in a few hours even if it falls. Check out rare photos of the snow-covered capital. And who is in Tbilisi now, I recommend going to the Sabaduri forest, that's exactly a fairy tale there.

🚫 People were not allowed to enter the Bassiani nightclub in the capital with Russian and Belarusian passports.
This fact was written to me by subscribers who stood in line at one of the most popular clubs in Georgia, but they were refused to buy tickets and pass, after presenting documents.

🚫💳 The National Bank of Georgia gives an explanation about the attempt to use the Russian Mir card in the country.
According to the statement, the service of the Mir card by companies operating in Georgia is a violation. In addition, this payment system violates the law on occupation. Administrative sanctions will be applied to such legal entities, up to closure.
«The Russian Mir system is not serviced in the country by any commercial bank or service provider, and if this appears, we ask you to immediately inform the investigative services and the police about it."
❗️As previously reported, one of the major shopping centers in Batumi (owned by Turkish owners) published a message and pasted stickers at the entrance with information that such cards will be accepted by them and work without restrictions.

📈🪑 Prices for furniture and wood products in Georgia will increase by 20% in the near future.
According to the statements of the representatives of the furniture cluster, raw materials from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine account for more than 20% of our consumption. Imports from these countries will be closed for a long time, and new ones (China, Romania, Bulgaria) are more difficult in logistics and more expensive. Semi-finished products are not produced in Georgia, so the country imports 50% of raw materials from Turkey, whose market also depends on Russia.

🎉 In Georgia it’s Novruz Bayram - the day of the vernal equinox.
Taking into account several days of snowfall in Tbilisi, I really want the heat. In 2010, Novruz Bayram was declared a national holiday in Georgia and has been widely celebrated in the center of residence of the Azerbaijani diaspora - the city of Marneuli for many years.
ℹ️ Azerbaijanis are the second largest national group in Georgia (6.3% of the population ~ 230,000 people).

👶🇺🇦 The Ministry of Education announced that all state kindergartens in Georgia will provide free education to children of Ukraine.
Previously, this applied only to the capital, but today it was announced that it will spread to the whole country. Also, let me remind you that Ukrainian schoolchildren are enrolled in Georgian schools in a simplified manner.
