Moldova’s beet-and-sugar complex: everyone pays dearly for an illusion

Over the past two decades, the 75% customs duty on sugar imports into Moldova has evolved from a measure of commercial protection for the domestic market into a mechanism that стимулиates managerial inefficiency in the sector. Inside this almost hermetically sealed “container,” hopes for developing the domestic beet-and-sugar complex have fermented into an expensive substrate for rising costs, losses, and a decline in competitiveness—both in the sugar industry and in other related branches of Moldova’s food industry.

Authoritarian illusion

At virtually every historical turning point in the last century and a half, liberal democracy has been declared to be dying. This was the case in the 1930s, when supposedly “effective” fascist regimes spread, and in the late 20th century, when state capitalism contributed to the success of the “Four Asian Tigers” (Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan) and then, most remarkably, China. The same can be said today about the rise of authoritarian leaders who seem to be able to make quick decisions and take decisive action, if not long-term planning.
