fruits

By the end of 2025, there is a real chance to exceed last year’s indicator of physical exports in the Moldovan horticulture sector only in terms of sales of plums abroad, – reports Logos Press.

By the end of November, Moldova had exported more than $259 million worth of seed and stone fruits; for the whole of 2024, exports of these goods totaled $249.8 million, 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.

Heavy precipitation throughout the current week will significantly affect the quality of the fruit crop that has not yet been harvested, Logos Press reported.

The extended quotas for Moldovan fruit supplies to the European Union, approved within the process of modification of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement DCFTA, are due to open on October 4 this year, Logos Press reports.

In the period from January to June 2025, in RM, fruits rose in price by 33.7%, vegetables – by18.9%. This is higher than the annual food inflation in the country (9.8%) and, moreover, higher than the general inflation (7.9%),” Logos Press reported, citing the National Bureau of Statistics.
