Summary

An important component of market economy management is effective investment activity. The
activity  of  capital  reproduction  and  investment  processes  that  determine  the  development  of
production. Investments allow to eliminate existing socio-economic problems, to become an additional
impetus for social development.

For our country, the growth of investments is of crucial importance, since the development of
the agri-food sector is  unthinkable without the growth of production and service sectors,  which, in
turn, requires significant financial resources. Foreign direct investment has a significant impact on GDP
growth, income levels and distribution, employment and wages, trade balance (export-import), current
and capital accounts, tax collection, technology transfer, knowledge and management skills. Georgia
needs foreign capital, which will contribute to the introduction of new capital, advanced technologies
and modern management methods into the country, and will also encourage domestic investments.

Keywords:  agri-food sector, investments, investors, investment environment.
