    Development of the food sector in the Republic of Moldova
    (Transilvania University Press, 2015) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Ignat, Anatolie; Lucasenco, Eugenia
    The food sector of the Republic of Moldova has undergone significant changesin the past decades. Food processing companies and large scale collective and state farmshave been privatized, markets were liberalized, and economies have been integrated intothe global food systems. As a result of liberalization and privatization processes, the state-controlled vertical integration in the agri-food industry had collapse.Latter on, private vertical coordination systems have emerged and started to grow rapidlyas a response to consumer demand for food quality and safety on the one hand and thefarms’ production constraints caused by factor market imperfection on the other. The maindrivers of the integration processes are private business operators and traders. However,the efficiency of the newly emerged food value chains is still low. This investigation wasbased on analysis of the official statistical data, qualitative and quantitative studies andother relevant publications. A significant part of analysis was done in the framework of theFP7 project “AGRICISTRADE”. In this paper the importance and the most recent changesof the food industry in the Republic of Moldova were demonstrated, the main impedimentswere analyzed and proposals to foster the food sector development were provided.

    Evolution of the Dairy Sector of the Republic of Moldova: Latest Trends and Developments
    (University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest, 2019) Ignat, Anatolie; Lucasenco, Eugenia
    The paper aims to analyze the evolution of the dairy sector of the Republic of Moldova, by presenting the latest trends in the sector and a wide analysis of the sector since 1990. Research has been carried out based on statistical data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova and data accessed from UN Comtrade database. The main analyzed indicators refer to number of dairy cows, milk production, imports and exports of dairy products. Therefore, the number of milking cows has diminished by about 3.6 times between 1990 and 2017, milk production declined by 3.4 times from 1,503 to 443 thousand tons in the same period, while the productivity, after a period of decline in 1990-1995, has stabilized between 1996 and 2004 and has started to rise since 2005. At the same time, the balance of foreign trade in dairy products is deeply negative for all categories of dairy products. Conclusions of the paper present a difficult situation in the dairy sector, with potential prospects of recovery as a result of paying a special attention to this sector by the governmental institutions.

    Recent evolutions in the development of the agricultural sector of the Republic of Moldova
    (UASM, 2018) Doga, Valeriu; Ignat, Anatolie; Gangan, Svetlana
    Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the national economy of the Republic of Moldova. The status of the agricultural sector has changed dramatically during the post independence period due to a wide range of factors of which the most important are disruptions of production and distribution networks. Agriculture is the sector most exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards and climate change that influence primarily on large fluctuations of the agricultural production. The aim of the article is to analyze the recent evolutions in the development of the agricultural sector of the Republic of Moldova and formulate necessary recommendations in order to overcome existing problems of this sector. The most important part of the agricultural production is still produced by households and agricultural enterprises. Subsidies’ developments along with volume of investments are the most important indicators characterizing the state policy in the field of agriculture. During the period 2006-2015 the volume of investments and subsidies in agriculture evolved non-uniformly, with pronounced annual growths and decreases. The subsidy measures should avoid large annual fluctuations and be more focused both on agricultural products with high export potential and on those that are not covered completely by local production.

    Dezvoltarea sectorului animalier din Republica Moldova
    (IEFS, 2011) Ignat, Anatolie
    Sectorul animalier din Republica Moldova este extreme de parcelat şi depinde, în foarte mare măsură, de producţia în gospodăriile casnice ale populaţiei.Implicarea largă a sectorului individual în producţia animalieră creează impedimente considerabile în ceea ce priveşte conformitatea cu standardele de igienă, nutriţie a animalelor, precum şi cu normele de protejare a mediului din Republica Moldova şi UE. Procesele negative din sectorul zootehnic, fiind influenţate şi de nivelul redus al subsidiilor au cauzat probleme semnificative în asigurarea populaţiei cu produse de origine animalieră.

    Evaluation of agricultural support in the Republic of Moldova
    (2016) Shik, Olga; Stratan, Alexandru; Ignat, Anatolie; Lucasenco, Eugenia
    This paper presents the outcome of the study conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in collaboration with the National Institute for Economic Research in the Republic of Moldova. The paper assesses the level and structure of government support to agriculture in Moldova by using a combination of formal quantitative, informal quantitative and qualitative analysis. Application of the PSE methodology by OECD provides a standardized quantitative method of measurement of support to agricultural sector. The methodology is based on comparing output producers’ prices (farm gate prices) with prices expected without policy interventions, e.g. market equilibrium or reference prices. Reference price must be selected in a way that best represents the opportunity costs of producing the commodity domestically. The effect of the public policy is measured by the difference between market and reference prices. If the difference between market and reference output prices is positive, policy causes benefits to producers, and if negative – policy leads to implicit taxation of the farmers. The paper suggests strategies and policy actions in order to increase efficiency of public support to agriculture with the focus on export growth.

    (Research Institute for Agricultural Economy and Rural Development, 2014) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Ignat, Anatolie
    The purpose of this paper is to identify opportunities for modernization of the agri-food sector of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the recent developments in the international and regional trade. Participation of the Republic of Moldova in various foreign trade agreements was analyzed. The assessment of the agri-food export was performed in order to show the impact of the trade barriers introduced by Russian authorities over the most important groups of agri-food products. The impact of the recent trade barriers over the economic stability and country’s food security was analyzed. The possible directions of the agro-food sector modernization in order to overcome external trade shocks were discussed.

    Support policies for agri-food export promotion in the Republic of Moldova.
    (Research Institute for Agricultural Economy and Rural Development, 2015) Stratan, Alexandru; Ignat, Anatolie; Moroz, Victor
    Agri-food trade has expanded over the recent decade in the Republic of Moldova. Trade policies promoted by the Republic of Moldova are mostly oriented towards product diversification, knowledge transfer and promotion of new competitive goods with high added value for domestic and foreign markets. The trade balance remains dynamic with significant fluctuations in product categories over time and countries of destination, due to climatic and trade shocks. In this context, the aim of the paper is to provide an analysis of agri-food sector and external trade, assess the impact of external factors over the national economy and opportunities for the better export targeting, and identify possible solutions to increase resilience to agro-food foreign trade shocks. For such tasks were used the statistical methods of analysis and informal interviews with main stakeholders. This paper’s outcome incorporates the scale, significance and dynamics of the agri-food export including the continued evolution of the regulatory agencies involved and the critical role of support policies provided by other sectors of national economy for the export promotion.

    Impact of economies of scale in the horticultural sector of the Republic of Moldova.
    (2013) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Ignat, Anatolie
    The major objective of the article is to provide an overview of the Moldovan High Value Agriculture (HVA) sector that can be useful to investors, producers, traders, donors and government officials alike, enabling concrete actions to be taken toward significantly increasing HVA exports. The article examines how the farm restructuring and land reform processes in Moldova have affected productivity and incomes in horticulture. To capture a comprehensive picture of the impacts of farm restructuring this study integrates analysis into the different quantitative and qualitative surveys during last ten years. The quantitative surveys cover the present situation mostly through questions that can be answered simply through multiple choices of yes/no responses or in a numerical form. The article integrates also the major findings from the Agricultural Census 2011. The qualitative surveys complement the quantitative research by focusing on the process of change involved in restructuring, the reasons for these changes and peoples’ attitudes toward the changes. The major conclusion of this paper is that the HVA sector, which used to make a significant contribution to Moldova’s economy has undergone a profound collapse which resulted from major structural changes, including the fragmentation of land, depopulation of rural areas ,collapse of most irrigation schemes, and the rapid change in the demand of its traditional destination markets. Faced with this situation it would be unrealistic to expect a rapid recovery of the sector, even though a number of existing private sector initiative demonstrate the potential for profitable investment in a wide range of fresh and partly processed products.
