TBILISI, January 28 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia's exports to Russia declined 30% year-on-year in 2007 to $53 million, while Russian imports into Georgia grew 3.6% to $578.8 million, the Georgian statistics department said on Monday.
The department said Georgia's exports to Russia declined in the reporting period due to the continued ban on the imports of Georgian wine, mineral water and agricultural products.
Trade with Russia accounted for 9.8% of Georgia's foreign trade in 2007, 3.9 percentage points less than in 2006, the statistics department said.
