What happened
Kakheti grape growers began protests against low purchase prices for their harvest on September 21, 2026, in areas including Shildi and Akhalsopeli. The growers demanded a revision of the pricing decree, stating that the price for grapes with sugar content below 17 degrees on the Brix scale did not cover growing and harvesting costs. Authorities in Georgia revised the purchase prices on September 22, 2026, increasing payments for some low-sugar products and lowering the minimum sugar content required for maximum pricing.
Why it matters
The government of Georgia revised state grape purchasing prices after the protests, directly affecting agricultural revenue in the region. This regulatory action aims to stabilize the agricultural market in Kakheti by adjusting the price floor for certain grape varieties.
