“If we get 24–25 lei per kilogram for table grapes, as we did in previous years, that would be good. Last year, the price was about 11 lei per kilogram, which meant a loss for me,” agroexpert quotes farmer Nicolae Susan (Ursoaia, Cahul) as saying.
In conversations with a Logos Press correspondent, other operators in the table grape industry in southern Moldova noted that, given the rising costs of virtually all production resources, and provided that the quality of the bulk of the 2026 harvest turns out to be above average, the break-even point for them will start at a product price range of 14–17 lei/kg.
At the same time, experts from the Cahul Region Table Grape Producers Association assert that, based on a combination of biological, economic, and commercial factors, it would be logical for this year’s table grape harvest in the country to be 20–30% lower than last year’s.
