Nodar Kirkitadze decided to produce hazelnuts 12 years ago in Kakheti and today he already owns 43 hectares of hazelnut orchards. As he himself says, nothing is easy, but if you want it, you will surely succeed.

From politics to farming, it was quite a long way, the production of hazelnuts was first learned in theory, and then implemented in practice.

Although he is already an experienced farmer, according to Nodar Kirkitadze, the teaching process continues even now, when “Baraka” became his discovery. As the farmer says, in addition to good preparations, the company has a knowledgeable team.

“I started the production of hazelnuts 12 years ago in Kvareli district. In particular, I planted them on the banks of the Alazni river. I gradually expanded production, some of the trees are 12 years old, some are 2 years old. I had hazelnut plantations on 50 hectares, but last year we were damaged by hail and up to 7 hectares of hazelnuts I had to decide, as a result, 43 at the moment I have a hectare.

As for the difficulties in the process of starting a business, nothing is easy, but if you approach it correctly, everything will work out for you. At this stage, the only difficulty is nature and the natural disasters caused by it, before which we are all powerless. Before farming, you were the governor of Kvareli. Then I got involved in agricultural activities. First I bought one hectare, then I took out a loan and expanded my business. I had a loan of 300,000 GEL from the bank, but I have no more debt for 5 years. I decided to become a farmer because I like to interact with the land”, Nodar Kirkitadze tells us.

The company “Baraka” appeared in the activity of the farmer 1 year ago. As Nodar Kirkitadze says, before that he cooperated with another shop, whose preparations turned out to be completely useless. And after the representative of “Baraka” recommended a remedy against a specific disease, the result exceeded expectations.

“Before Baraka appeared, I cooperated with another store, but they messed up business relations too many times. Once they gave me medicine, it didn’t work, two, three times… and we already had a disagreement. After that, “Baraka” appeared, whose representatives I got to know personally. To put it briefly, They are knowledgeable people and that’s why I appreciate “Baraka”.

It’s true that I don’t lack knowledge in my field, I read all the time and learned all the details in this field, but in this company they have professionals and they don’t hesitate to ask what I don’t know. For example, the American butterfly appeared, they came from the company, they brought drugs, they tested their drugs on the spot, and we used the one that worked best, and in a few hours, this pest completely disappeared. By this I want to say that in addition to the effectiveness of the drugs, all representatives of the company are interested in your work. I not only advise other farmers to cooperate with “Baraka”, I also give many people personal contacts. I really like knowledgeable people and I saw exactly that in this company”, says Nodar Kirkitadze.
