Essential Oils of Georgia, Ltd

Essential Oils of Georgia The Company “Essential Oils of Georgia” was founded in 2010 with head office in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. At present, the Organization employs around 150 people. Due to diverse climate of the country, the Company’s farms are located across Georgia, allowing cultivation and harvesting of various plant species. The total accessible farmland of the company covers a total area of 1000 hectares. The territory of Georgia covers area about 69,700 km2. Due to geographical location of the territory, there is a diverse climate in the country. The country is protected from cold by the Caucasus Range from the North, and the Black Sea which boarders to the West, conditions the subtropical climate. The subtropical climate of the West Georgia is substituted by the continental climate in the East. The average temperature in the West is about 15C, and in the East Georgia it constitutes 11-13C. Much of western Georgia lies within the northern periphery of the humid subtropical zone with annual precipitation ranging from 1,000–4,000 mm (39.4–157.5 in). The precipitation tends to be uniformly distributed throughout the year, although the rainfall can be particularly heavy during the Autumn months. The climate of the region varies significantly with elevation and while much of the lowland areas of western Georgia are relatively warm throughout the year, the foothills and mountainous areas (including both the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Mountains) experience cool, wet summers and snowy winters (snow cover often exceeds 2 meters in many regions). Eastern Georgia has a transitional climate from humid subtropical to continental. The region's weather patterns are influenced both by dry, Caspian air masses from the east and humid, Black Sea air masses from the west. The penetration of humid air masses from the Black Sea is often blocked by several mountain ranges (Likhi and Meskheti) that separate the eastern and western parts of the nation. Annual precipitation is considerably less than that of western Georgia and ranges from 400–1,600 mm (15.7–63.0 in). Important notes: The region of the Caucasus is one of the most important centers of the World by its biological variety. In Georgia there are available hundreds of wild plants and fruits. WWF considers that Georgia is among 238 important ecological regions.
