Georgia imported 454.5 tons of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) worth USD 609.1 thousand in 2024, a 24.3% and 17% decrease in value and volume, respectively.
Similarly to previous years, Russia was the primary supplier, with nearly 38% of total imports belonging to it. The top five importing countries were:
- Russia – 283.5 tons valued at $354.1 thousand
- Iran – 111.4 tons valued at $117.3 thousand
- India – 20.6 tons valued at $32.1 thousand
- China – 10 tons valued at $15.9 thousand
- Italy – 999 kg valued at $12.9 thousand
The decline in Vaseline imports may indicate certain shifts in market demand and supply.
