In the first half of the 2025-26 marketing season, RM sunflower oil exports began to recover from last year’s sharp decline, Logos Press reported.

Between August and November 2025, Moldova exported almost 272,000 tons of sunflower – 29% more than last year’s (also record) figure for the same period, Logos Press reported.

In spite of significant shortfall of fruit harvest due to spring frosts, as well as reduction of their quality due to summer drought and autumn precipitation, prices for many types of products of the fruit growing sector increased. Accordingly, even in the conditions of physical decrease of exports, their financial indicators increased. This was much and colorfully discussed in the last days of November within the XI annual conference “Fruit Business of Moldova”. And, perhaps, for the first time in its long history, the conference started with singing a beautiful and optimistic song about the richness of the Moldovan land.

The sharp jump in chicken egg prices in Moldova is due to the fact that most EU countries have registered large-scale outbreaks of avian flu, which led to a reduction in production and an increase in egg prices.

Romania ranks 17th in the world in total wine consumption, Logos Press reported.

In the top 5 most exported Moldovan goods for the period January-September 2025, agricultural products hold the second to fifth positions, – Logos Press reports.

In October, the export of soybean oil and its fractions from Moldova amounted to only 624 tons worth 12.4 million lei, confirming the tendency of a steady decline in the supply of this commodity abroad this year, Logos Press reported.

A month and a half is left till the end of this year, and these are the most “working months” in the export sales season. At least, for some types of Moldovan fruits. However, the specifics of the harvested crop and external commodity flows in the first half of the fall show that the chances for a hundred percent selection of new (increased) quotas for duty-free export of fruits to the European Union are, alas, small.
