The article deals with the analysis of the current issues in Georgian agro-industrial sector. Arable territories were separated during the reorganization process of the Soviet collective farms. Newly established small – the so-called ”Countrymen Unities” are not effective due to inadequate material-technical base; agricultural productivity is reduced as implemented through primitive and old insensitive technologies. The gained production is not competitive, and accordingly, the productivity of agricultural branches such as tea-breeding, citrus, laurel, oil plantings and technical cultures have become unprofitable. The main drawbacks of subtropical agriculture are represented in the article, namely: irrational use of arable territories, inefficient credits, insufficient material-technical base, unstable agrarian market - ignoring priority directions, worsening ecological problems and so on. The most urgent activities to be undertaken to maintain radical activities, to well define the agrarian policy, to implement highly-intensive technologies of industry, and to develop such priority branches as: agro-tourism and eco-tourism. All these aspects demand the creation of effective business plan, maintaining agrarian countries’ experience, and scientific approaches in the industry, thus fostering agricultural development and economic growth of the country itself.
