Nevertheless, according to EastFruit’s price monitoring data, the current price level is approximately 13–15% higher than in August of last year, and it is, in fact, the highest for this month in the past five years. At the same time, wholesale plums on the Moldovan market this week (0.53/kg) are significantly cheaper than in Ukraine (0.67/kg) and Poland (0.71/kg). Apparently, this is one of the reasons, according to traders, for the active export sales of this product.
As Logos Press previously reported, Moldovan fruit growers are expecting a bumper harvest in 2026 and high-quality plums. The “Moldova Fruct” Association estimates this year’s harvest to be “12–16% higher than in 2025.” Last year, according to statistics, the plum harvest totaled 114,000 metric tons.
