Georgia's exports to Russia in these six months amounted to 41,300 tons of ferroalloys, 34,800 tons of mineral and fresh water, 21,500 tons of natural grape wine, 3,400 tons of spirits and some other items.
During that period Russia imported to Georgia 77,200 tons of wheat flour, 198,200 tons of oil and oil products, 156,100 tons of natural and associated gases.
