Export & Import

Argentine sunflower cheats expectations

Problems with the quality of Argentine sunflower imported to the Black Sea countries this spring are changing the balance on the market of the region in a paradoxical way. On the one hand, there is nominally more raw material. On the other hand, the actual supply of sunflower suitable for processing into food and fodder has not increased in the regional market. Obviously, such a contradiction between expectation and reality in the very near future will be reflected in the regional sunflower prices.

Investor without status: Why a residence permit in Moldova does not attract capital

Against the backdrop of slowing economic growth, a lack of long-term capital and intense competition for investment between countries in the region, Moldova clearly needs new sources of capital inflows into the real economy. One potentially effective instrument is the investment residence permit.

The end of the sweet “sugar era”

The sugar market is not about “sweetness”, but about economy in its purest form: excess supply, rising costs and managerial mistakes are instantly converted into price. That is why there is always a lot of information noise around sugar – slogans “let’s provide the market with our own”, “the market needs protection”, “importers are enemies”. But the noise does not change the main thing: the market does not punish imports – the market punishes inefficiency. And today this is evident all over Europe.
