The composition of the Coordinating Commission on food prices has been approved.

According to a decree issued by the Government of Georgia on December 30, 2025, the Coordinating Commission will be chaired by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

Members of the commission also include: Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture Davit Songulashvili, Minister of Finance Lasha Khutsishvili, Minister of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs Mikheil Sarjveladze, Head of the State Security Service Mamuka Mdinaradze, Head of the Government Administration Levan Zhorzholiani, and Chairperson of the Competition and Consumer Protection Agency Irakli Lekvinadze.

For reference, on December 24 the Prime Minister stated that there is a significant difference between Georgian and European prices for food products. According to Irakli Kobakhidze, this difference is driven by high markups imposed by distribution companies and retail chains, which on average amount to 86% from the border to the store shelf. The Prime Minister called on law enforcement agencies to examine the issue of food prices and determine whether there are signs of criminal activity. He also asked Parliament to establish a parliamentary commission to assess the issue. In turn, the State Security Service announced that it is launching a review of the food price issue, while the parliamentary majority has expressed readiness to establish a special commission in Parliament.
