On 30 October, AgriFuture Georgia 2026 brings ministers, bankers, European agri-tech leaders and Georgian growers into one room with one goal: put Georgian produce on the world’s shelves.
Georgian blueberries have already reached India, and Georgian hazelnuts are already on the Italian market. Blueberries are now growing in pots in Eastern Georgia, where plants are monitored by AI, so the country could supply international markets for up to five months a year instead of two, EastFruit notes.
The company behind much of this is NIADAGI Group . On 30 October 2026 it will bring the whole sector together at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace for AgriFuture Georgia 2026 , an annual conference and exhibition that is quickly becoming the meeting point for Georgia’s agri-food industry.
From startup to bridge-builder in five years
NIADAGI was founded in 2020 by Nikoloz Didebashvili and started as Georgia’s first agro-service provider. Its idea was simple and ambitious: give Georgian farmers what their European competitors take for granted. That means certified planting material, modern technology, expert agronomy and a clear route to market.
Five years on, NIADAGI works across the full cycle, from the first business plan to the first export container.
What sets NIADAGI apart is the company it keeps. Today it unites 15 premium international partners from Europe, the Americas and beyond, a line-up that reads like a who’s who of global horticulture.
From Italy come RK Growers , Nuova Pasquini & Bini , Mazzoni Group , Agrintech and INFIA . From the Netherlands come LEGRO and Schrijnwerkers Plant BV . The United Kingdom is represented by Haygrove and Botanicoir (UK / Sri Lanka), Germany by Exatrek , Greece by Thrace Group , Switzerland by agri-tech innovator Vivent Biosignals , and Moldova by Fumagro . Beyond Europe, the network reaches Chile through Tres Castillos and spans the globe with AgroFresh , which operates from the United States to South Africa.
These companies shape how the world’s fruit is grown, protected, packed and sold. Through NIADAGI, every one of them is now within reach of a Georgian grower.
A climate advantage the world hasn’t noticed yet
Most of Georgia’s 3,000+ hectares of blueberries are in the west, where the harvest window is two months. NIADAGI and Swiss technology company Vivent Biosignals are testing a different model in the east: container-grown blueberries whose stress levels are read in real time through the plants’ own electrical signals.
The east Georgia can deliver up to four months of harvest. Add storage, and Georgia could serve international buyers for five to six months a year. For a country that has long been seen as a niche origin, that could change its market position.
One day. One room. The entire value chain.
AgriFuture Georgia 2026 is designed to answer every question a grower or investor might have in a single day.
● The state. David Songhulashvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia , addresses the forum. The Rural Development Agency presents current grant and co-financing programmes.
● The money. TBC Bank , Georgia’s largest financial group, sets out its financing solutions for agribusiness.
● The market. A high-level panel, “Export Markets and Innovation in Agriculture,” puts the people who move fruit across borders on one stage:
○ Paolo Carissimo , President, RK Growers (Italy), on what global retailers really demand from a new origin
○ Erik Veenman , Director of Sales, Vivent Biosignals (Switzerland), on plants that “tell” growers when they’re stressed
○ Leon Schrijnwerkers , Founder, Schrijnwerkers Plant BV (Netherlands),New, certified, and high-quality blueberry varieties
Shota Tsukoshvili , Agricultural Development Partner, NIADAGI Group, on Georgia as the next destination for agri-investment
● The deals. The afternoon turns into an exhibition and B2B floor. Growers can sit down face to face with RK Growers, LEGRO, Fall Creek, Pasquini & Bini, Thrace Group, Vivent Biosignals, Exatrek, Haygrove, Schrijnwerkers Plants BV, Mazzoni Group, Agrintech, INFIA and Botanicoir . They can compare technologies on the spot and leave with real offers, and possibly real partnerships.
Commenting on Georgia’s growing potential in the premium fruit sector, Nikoloz Didebashvili, Founder of NIADAGI Group , said: “ Georgia has all the fundamentals needed to become a competitive player in the premium fruit market — favourable growing conditions, available land, government subsidy and ambitious producers. What the sector has lacked is stronger access to international expertise, advanced technologies and global markets. AgriFuture Georgia is designed to help bridge that gap and create new opportunities for the industry.”
Georgian agriculture is moving from small-scale production to something bigger, with export-oriented, technology-driven and investment-ready farms. AgriFuture Georgia 2026 is where that shift becomes visible.
