Abstract:
Two years into COVID-19 Pandemic, international food prices have been on the rise reflecting disruptions
in supply chains, increased import demand, and poor growing conditions in exporting countries. Georgia has not
been isolated from the trend, and consumers have seen drastic food price inflation. This article discusses the main
drivers of food prices increases in Georgia and discusses the key factors that will form expectations for the
upcoming months. Furthermore, it provides the recommendations to ensure less disruptions in food supply chains
and low volatility in food prices
