Tazo Datunashvili, one of the leaders of “Lelo – Strong Georgia,” has called the Commission for the Study of Prices in Georgia a “complete farce.” The opposition politician notes that since the commission began its work, prices for all basic consumer goods have only continued to rise.
“It is vital that the Prime Minister of Georgia be held accountable on this issue; he has been feeding the country’s citizens pathological lies and has disappeared from all radars in recent days…
I believe now is the most appropriate moment to see that the price study commission in this country has turned out to be a complete farce. Since the start of its work, prices for absolutely all essential goods have increased. Price growth has continued uninterrupted since this commission began functioning.
Data for 2026 shows that food inflation in Georgia reached 7.5%. Specifically, fish prices rose by 22%, nuts and grapes by 14%, bread and bakery products by 10%, meat and meat products by 10%, oil and other fats by 8%, sugar, jam, and other sweets by 5%, and vegetables and melons by 5%. The price of eggs also increased by 4.5%.
The reality is this: the electricity tariff promised in 2012, which was supposed to be halved, has instead increased by another third. This process is irreversible and means that prices for all goods and services will rise. For the commission’s information, the Poultry Association issued an official statement indicating that, based on global conditions and reality, the price of eggs will inevitably rise because the cost of electricity has increased. Against this backdrop, the ‘Georgian Dream’ commission established what is already known to every citizen of Georgia, even a five-year-old child: that Georgia is an import-dependent country.
This was established by seven millionaires who staged a masquerade for the population, deceived them, and insulted them daily with their actions…
This commission is a lie, and it has nothing to do with your real life. Except perhaps that a few unscrupulous millionaires found out for the first time in their lives how much oil, milk, sugar, and bread cost in Georgian supermarkets. I have a question for the Georgian government: Who will take responsibility before the population of Georgia, whose cost of living has increased by at least 30% during the commission’s tenure?” Datunashvili stated.
Georgia’s SSG (State Security Service) has begun studying the issue of food pricing
