Diesel fuel imports in Georgia increased last year, while petrol imports decreased, the Georgian Union of Importers, Exporters and Producers of Oil Products told Trend.
According to the information, diesel fuel imports increased by 26,000 tons in 2010.

Georgia imported 410,000 tons of petrol and 400,000 tons of diesel fuel last year.
