Business Overview
Restart-ready export-oriented food ingredient platform with IQF and freeze-drying infrastructure in Georgia.

Formerly operating as a vertically integrated agri-processing business specializing in IQF frozen products and freeze-dried fruits, berries, vegetables, and herbs for retail, HoReCa, private-label, and industrial food manufacturers.

Key highlights:

• Fully installed, restart-ready industrial processing platform with IQF freezing, freeze-drying, packaging, and cold storage infrastructure.

• Historically served a diversified international customer base, including global food manufacturers, private-label brands, retail chains, HoReCa distributors, and ingredient buyers. The company had exposure to supply chains serving baby food manufacturers, including the Nestlé ecosystem.

• Operates a full-cycle business model, converting fresh Georgian agricultural produce into high-value frozen and shelf-stable export products, enabling year-round monetization of seasonal raw materials.

• Internationally recognized food safety and export framework, including ISO 22000, FDA, IFS certifications, with readiness for EU, GCC, and US export markets.

• Developed a recognized Georgian export brand with international awards and market exposure. Commercial footprint included its own distribution company, e-commerce channels, an Amazon-based shop in the United States, and partnerships with retail and delivery platforms.

• Participated in major international trade exhibitions, including Berlin Green Week, Gulfood Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other industry events, establishing relationships with international buyers and partners.

• Operations were suspended approximately 11 months ago due to working capital constraints. The physical asset base, equipment, infrastructure, and production systems remain intact and preserved in restart-ready condition.

• Operates within a supportive Georgian agri-industrial ecosystem with potential access to government and donor-supported development, export promotion, and co-financing programs.

Investment highlights:

• Established export-oriented brand and historical market access.
• Fully installed infrastructure with no greenfield development requirements.
• Integrated processing, packaging, and cold storage capabilities.
• Ability to rapidly reactivate operations and re-enter international markets.
• Significant scalability, including the potential to increase freeze-dried production capacity by approximately 3–4x within the existing infrastructure and additional expansion opportunities on the owned land plot.
• Potential for further operational efficiencies through renewable energy integration, including rooftop solar installations.

The asset represents a rare opportunity to acquire a restart-ready, export-oriented food ingredient and processing platform positioned to benefit from growing global demand for clean-label, functional, and shelf-stable food products.
