For some Moldovan farmers, the sowing campaign-2026 is just beginning. And for Moldovan sugar beet growers, it should have already ended. But the sowing of sugar beet has been delayed. Visions for its harvest and domestic sugar production are vague. The situation with sugar import is close to scandalous. But let’s talk about everything in order.

SANTIAGO – For decades, global power has come from Europe and the United States. At least that’s what I thought when I first set foot in the Northern Hemisphere as a graduate student at Cambridge University. But the management of Chile’s international economic relations under former President Gabriel Boric has shown how much power the Global South can wield if it so chooses.

Vadim Cheban: The energy market has not become more stable, free and predictable

In early March, the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) extended until the end of June the decision to appoint Moldovagaz JSC responsible for ensuring gas supply to the Transnistrian region. Earlier, in 2023, ANRE revoked the license for natural gas transportation from the Moldovan-Russian company, giving this function to a subsidiary of the Romanian state operator Transgaz. And in 2025 – the license for supply, which is now handled by the Moldovan state-owned company Energocom.

How to clog the market: the unseemly story of one Moldovan government project

In October 2025, the Moldovan government imposed a de facto ban on sugar imports from Serbia to the Moldovan market for a period of 200 days under the pretext of protecting the sector. This measure was presented as a supportive measure to give local sugar producers another hypothetical chance to “perk up”. Even at the cost of quite real sacrifices imposed on the entire food industry of Moldova. Let us assess what happened in the end.
