Enhanced resilience of viticulture in Abkhazia


A vast area in Abkhazia was contaminated by the explosion of an ammunition warehouse in 2017. Clearance efforts supported by international experts are about to be completed, enabling the restoration of the land for agricultural purposes. Endemic grape varieties will be reintroduced fostering biodiversity and resistance to disease. Growers’ resilience to climatic and economic shocks will be enhanced by setting a sector association and training in advanced agricultural practices.

El proyecto en breve
Contexto Since 1993, Abkhazia is a breakaway territory of Georgia, struggling with the aftermath of the armed conflict between the separatist forces and the central Government. Abkhazia is affected by high poverty rates and high vulnerabilities to global shocks. Since 2017, the international NGO Halo Trust has been demining the territory near the Primorsky village, which was contaminated by the explosion of an ammunition warehouse. According to FAO, this parcel is suitable for viticulture. There is a market demand for endemic grapes, however local growers lack access to quality planting material. As a result, the endemic varieties are under risk of extinction. Enabling local growers to produce high quality saplings of endemic grape varieties will mitigate the risk of biodiversity loss, as well as create opportunities of additional income for the farming community.
Objetivos The overall impact of the project will be enhanced resilience of grape farmers in Abkhazia thanks to sustainable management of grape genetic resources.
