Last month, grains and oilseeds accounted for about 87% of the physical and 75% of the financial volume of Moldova’s exports of field products, Logos Press reported.
At the end of this week, gardeners in the south and center of Moldova will start harvesting early varieties of plums – “Petestianca” and “Caciasca early”. The demand for the fruits of the first harvest will be high. The starting price offered by traders, according to fruit market operators, will be set in a wide range of 9-15 lei/kg,” Logos Press reports.
Last week, the season of mass export sales of cherries ended in Moldova. Having started a week later than usual, it was the latest in the current five-year period and the shortest – it lasted only four weeks, Logos Press reported.
The campaign of harvesting of grain and oilseed crops of the first group is unfolding in Moldova. It is too early to judge about its results “in hectares and tons”. However, some market trends are already clearly visible.
In the period from January to April this year, the physical export of Moldovan honey increased by 40% compared to the same period last year – up to 1.8 thousand tons. In financial terms, shipments abroad are estimated at $4.7 million, with an average invoice price of about $2.6/kg. Employees of industry associations of beekeepers and honey exporters believe that the active export of honey from the Republic of Moldova will continue, due to large stocks of products from previous years.
In the period from January to June 2025, in RM, fruits rose in price by 33.7%, vegetables – by18.9%. This is higher than the annual food inflation in the country (9.8%) and, moreover, higher than the general inflation (7.9%),” Logos Press reported, citing the National Bureau of Statistics.
At the beginning of the harvesting campaign, wholesale wheat prices remain in the range from 2.8 lei/kg (one of the most important grain regions Floresti-Sholdanesti) to 3.2 lei (Giurgiulesti port), Logos Press reports.
In the 2024-25 marketing season, Moldova became the third largest exporter of wheat to the EU market with a share of 8.1% and a volume of 603.8 thousand tons.

The 2025 grain and oilseed crops of the second group in the districts of Stefan Voda, Cahul and Causeni are already now in a critical state, Logos Press reported.
