The project "partisipation for developnent" finished
In September 2023, the Georgian Rural Council held the final presentation of the project "Cooperation for Local Development" in Chokhatauri and Lanchkhuti. The presentations were held in the meeting halls of Chokhatauri and Lanchkhuti municipal Councils and were led by the project director Amiran Gigineishvili.
The target groups of the project were the population of 3 villages of Lanchkhuti municipality, Etseri, Oragve and Grigoleti (about 1200 inhabitants, 50% of whom are women and 36% young people), as well as the population of 3 villages of Chokhatauri municipality, Erketi, Dablatsikhe and Burnati (about 1100 inhabitants, of whom 50% women and 30% young), Lanchkhuti Municipality City Hall and City Council, Chokhatauri Municipality City Hall and City Council.
Cheese products Inspection in Lanchkhuti
The suitability of cheese was monitored in Lanchkhuti by the Georgian Rural Council by suwithin the framework of the fourth phase (ENPARD IV) of the European Union "European Neighborhood Program for Agriculture and Rural Development" (ENPARD - Georgia), as well as the project "Increased Agricultural Economic practices and consumer awareness" within the framework.
The Georgian Rural Council purchased cheese samples and ensured laboratory testing. We bought 5 types of cheese at various shops and markets in Lanchkhuti and submitted it to the State Laboratory of Agriculture in the city of Kutaisi. 2 samples of factory-made cheese produced in Georgia and 3 samples made in local farms were purchased.
The National Food Agency controls the fulfillment of the requirements of the regulation "On milk and milk products". However, it manages to check
only a few dozen samples of cheese per year, which is a small number for monitoring the whole country's trade network. Cheese is an essential part of the food. That is why it is very important to check its cleanliness. So, depending on the urgency of the issue, we purchased and checked the cheese.
List of tested samples:
