‘I’m going to say this for the first time. According to the plan, the agricultural census is due to take place in 2030. Personally, I believe that this is wrong. We must carry it out no later than 2028, when we will be able to access European aid funds,’ asserts Osmochescu.
The Minister of MAIA believes that current statistical data do not provide a complete picture of the agricultural sector. A census would make it possible to ascertain how many farms there are in the country, what they do, and where European funds should be channelled. “I would carry it out as soon as possible, but this requires preparation and financial resources. We will not be able to carry out such a census without the help of our partners,” noted Osmochescu.
Logos Press note: The first (and, to date, only) General Agricultural Census in the Republic of Moldova was carried out in 2011. According to the international standards of the World Agricultural Censuses Programme, coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), as well as the country’s legislation, general agricultural censuses must be carried out once every ten years. However, an ‘blind’ agricultural policy also has its advantages.
