The sharp warming expected this week creates an opportunity for Moldovan farmers to reduce crop losses at the late stage of the harvesting campaign and to complete the sowing of winter crops in agronomically more or less acceptable terms, – reports Logos Press.
The demand price for export quality “Moldova” grapes last week fluctuated within 14-16 lei/kg, which experts consider quite good in the conditions of the current season, – reports Logos Press.
About 150 tons of seeds of field crops have been donated by the Forța Fermierilor Association to 70 farmers from the districts of Causeni and Stefan Voda, which have been hit hardest by droughts for four consecutive years, Logos Press reported.
A growing number of “world-renowned” experts are signaling that the global agri-food economy has entered a period of recession. High harvests of grain and oilseed crops in a number of major producing countries fuel their high (excessive) supply. At the same time, effective demand and food prices are declining almost everywhere in the world. Moldova is fully in this trend.
At a tender for the purchase of 2 million tons of nitrogen fertilizers on October 15 in India, the minimum price for urea was $395/ton (CFR, delivered to ports on the east coast of the country), which may lead to a decrease in fertilizer prices in Moldova, according to Logos Press.
The two-week break in the harvesting campaign due to the abnormally long period of October precipitation has changed a lot in the apple segment of Moldovan fruit growing. Moldova Fruct management has not yet changed its summer forecast for the 2025 apple crop, but fruit market operators believe that by November the adjustment will certainly take place.
More than 200 producers of agricultural machinery and hundreds of farmers will present their products within the annual exhibitions “Moldagrotech” and “Farmer” on the territory of Moldexpo IEC (Chisinau) during October 16-19, – reports Logos Press.
The poor quality of potatoes is causing more and more complaints of Moldovan consumers in social networks. The leitmotif of the notes is that the waste from peeling the tubers accounts for at least half of the entire product, Logos Press reports.
Just under 6.3 thousand tons of apples were exported by Moldova in September 2025 – this is almost 18% more than in the same month last year, – reports Logos Press.
After the summer drought and prolonged October precipitation, the forecast of sunflower harvest-2025 in Ukraine professional oilseed market participants reduced to 11.4 million tons – this is the lowest estimate of production of this crop since 2016, – reports Logos Press.
In the first half of this year, about 45 thousand planting units of rape seeds were imported to Moldova and sold to farmers, enough to sow 130-135 thousand hectares, Logos Press reports.
Sunflower yield losses due to fall precipitation and the delayed harvesting period by at least 10 days will amount to at least 10-15%, Logos Press reports.
