Georgia's increasing trade deficits are a by-product of Russia's trade embargo. Georgia has failed to diversify its exports and relies heavily on agriculture and low value added resource exploration. Georgia's main imports are oil, motor cars, pharmaceutical products, wheat and meslin, sugar and electrical equipment. Georgia's main trading partners are Turkey, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Germany, Russia, the United States and Bulgaria. .
