NAFTA Debate Explores Need to Balance Free, Fair Trade for Georgia

Talking trade today — and especially NAFTA — often means maintaining civil discourse or delving into details, but rarely both.  Getting too far into the weeds can lead to one side crying foul about specific disadvantages, while tiptoeing to avoid partisan passions can lead to only superficial discussion of real issues.  Speakers from a variety […]

Agriculture an Avenue for Improving Georgia-Peru Trade

When Miguel Aleman was posted at Peru’s embassy in Beijing in the early 2000s, he started to see South American table grapes popping up at Chinese New Year celebrations.  The only problem? They were coming in from neighboring Chile, not his country. The diplomat, now Peru’s consul general in Atlanta, sent word back to Lima […]

Liberian Agriculture Minister Seeks ‘Win-Win’ Trade Partnerships in Georgia 

Liberians eat rice and chicken every day, but the West African nation relies mainly on imports for both commodities, as well as for about 80 percent of its overall food supply.  That, among other challenges, is something the new government of President George Manneh Weah hopes to change, with a little help from Georgia, a strong food-producing […]
