According to the permanent representation of the European Union in Moldova, the Bardar bakery is one of the beneficiaries of EU grants, and its products are also exported to Germany, France and Ireland.
In order to enter European markets, the company expanded its production capacity, reduced energy costs by installing solar panels, passed all stages of certification in accordance with ISO international quality standards in the food sector, ensured compliance with customs procedures and organized logistics for uninterrupted delivery of products abroad. To this end, the bakery received EU grants for modernization and energy efficiency and, later, funding from the Livada Moldovei project of the European Investment Bank.
