Last week saw the end of the third round of farmer applications for subsidies this year – this time post-investment. This week, AIPA, the Agency for Interventions and Payments in Agriculture, has already presented a blitz analysis of the framework parameters accepted for consideration of “farmer dossiers” for subsidies. The first thing that catches the eye is the total amount requested – almost LE 1.5 billion. This is about 50% more than the staff of non-governmental organizations of agricultural producers predicted.
From August to October, the Moldovan grain market was strongly losing out to the oilseed market in terms of turnover.

The turbulent end to the sugar beet processing and sugar production season in Moldova could take on a dramatic turn. If the weather conditions are unfavourable, the season could end, as sugar producers say, ‘even in March next year.’ From their point of view, this is not a major problem. Of course, this is without taking into account the additional risks, costs, guaranteed increase in production costs and the price of the final product – Moldovan sugar.
