In the season 2023-24, Moldova’s share in the total volume of wheat imports to the EU was 7.7%, although in that season our country supplied more goods – 707 thousand tons. In other words, in the recently completed marketing season, the “Moldovan segment” in percentage terms increased due to the general reduction of wheat imports to the EU market last season.
