At the end of May, cereals and oilseed crops retained the status of absolute leader in exports both in physical volume (92.91%) and in value terms (80.90%) of the total volume of supplies from the Republic of Moldova abroad,” Logos Press reports.
The three days of the 46th OIV World Congress were very densely filled with scientific papers in four commissions – “Oenology”, “Viticulture”, “Economics and Law”, “Health and Safety”. All of them were united by a common theme dedicated to shaping the future of wine. In total, the Congress program included more than 300 presentations.
By the votes of the ruling party’s parliamentary faction, the new law on subsidies in Moldovan agriculture was approved in its final reading. The law contains many new things – from its name to its principles. The law is very ambiguous – at the draft stage it gathered both a lot of criticism and flattering reviews. But the most important thing is that the law will come into force from the new year.
In 2024, the world’s vineyard plantations covered 7.1 million hectares, a year-on-year decrease of 0.6%. According to this indicator, grapes are the second fruit crop in the world. Grapes are grown in 94 countries, but just over half of the world’s crop is destined for winemaking.
There are reasons to hope that this year Moldova will have a very good harvest of oilseed crops. The area under crops has noticeably increased: about 100 thousand hectares have been allocated for rape, which is many times more than last year, sunflower – more than 420 thousand hectares. At the moment, agronomists assess the condition of crops as “good and very good”.
This year’s crop of table grapes is expected to be of high quality, aided by a rare combination of weather conditions for pollination,” according to Logos Press.
Moldova exported about 16.2 thousand tons of sunflower in May, which is significantly lower than the figure for April (45.2 thousand tons) and March (69.6 thousand tons) of 2025,” Logos Press reported.

The area of garden plantations affected by spring frosts is estimated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry at more than 8,600 hectares,” Logos Press reported.
