drought

Moldovan beekeepers, during a meeting of the Advisory Council for Beekeeping under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry MAIA, reported a number of serious problems in the sector and once again requested the assistance of the Cabinet of Ministers.

The 2025 grain and oilseed crops of the second group in the districts of Stefan Voda, Cahul and Causeni are already now in a critical state, Logos Press reported.

The generous May and relatively not hot June renewed the hope of Moldovan agrarians for a “more or less normal rest of the summer”. However, the other day the Hydrometeorological Service of the Republic of Moldova issued an unpleasant forecast for July: the average daily temperature will be around 20-22 degrees Celsius. That is, about 2 degrees above the average statistical norm. With a shortage of precipitation, most likely. In this context, some experts remembered that authoritative meteorological resources of the European Union in spring promised another temperature records and drought not only in July, but also in August 2025.

The area of grain corn sown for the harvest-2025 has shrunk to about 300 thousand hectares. Last year, this crop occupied 464 thousand hectares in the Republic of Moldova.

In the first quarter of 2025 Moldova exported more than 4 thousand tons of grain sorghum. If the dynamics of supplies abroad of this commodity will continue, at the end of the year, the export volumes will be at least not lower than the average for the previous three years of about 11 thousand tons,” Logos Press reports.
