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.Item Diagnosis of the agri-food value chains in the Republic of Moldova(ICEADR, 2012) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Lucasenco, EugeniaThe main aim of the paper is to present the state of the agro-food value chain in the Republic of Moldova in conditions of incomplete information and uncertainty. In order to accomplish this general scope, the methodological approaches were adjusted to the available scarce data and existing research resources. Three important outputs are foreseen as a result of the investigation: description of the current situation of the components of agri-food value chains and interaction among them; the rapid analysis of the main dimensions of the chain; identification of constraints and development opportunities. Performance of the agro-food value chains in the Republic of Moldova is affected by high energy costs, unstable sources of inputs supply, restricted access to end-markets.

The possible directions of the agro-food sector modernization in order to overcome external trade shocks were discussed.Item 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, VictorAgri-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.Item Impact of economies of scale in the horticultural sector of the Republic of Moldova.(2013) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Ignat, AnatolieThe 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.Item Modernization of the Agricultural Sector in the Context of Sustainable Development in the Republic of Moldova.(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest - Faculty of Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2013) Stratan, Alexandru; Moroz, Victor; Lucasenco, EugeniaThis paper focuses on the links between agricultural modernization and sustainable development, looking in particular at the impact of the structural changes over the rural livelihoods. In order to achieve this, there were used the following research methods such as: analysis of the economic indicators, methods of comparative analysis, assessment of the public policies’ impact on the rural development. The agricultural sector in the Republic of Moldova is based on extensive farming and is insufficiently adapted to market economy conditions. There is a growing understanding in the country that the rural economy is not confined to the agricultural sector, but embraces the broad spectrum of needs of all rural people including living standards, economic activities and natural resources. The situation is associated with the major risks related to the structural changes that may affect the countryside and the economy as a whole such as: a) migration and uncontrolled urbanization, b) lack of professional qualifications and adaptability of the population in the rural areas, c) inadequate use of the natural resources. Rural economy, employment issues, natural resource management and also goals and circumstances of the agricultural production have changed considerably. At the same time, academia and civil society are aware that the new paradigm of modernization must begin both with the agricultural technologies and the people. Its novelty is that in the combination of financial, economic and technological policies for agriculture, new components to be introduced, like policies aimed at improving human capital in agriculture and environmental protection. The paper contains conclusions and proposals on modernization of agriculture and diversification of non farm activities in rural areas.Item Transformările structurale din spațiul rural în Republica Moldova(INCE, 2013) Moroz, Victor; Lucasenco, EugeniaLucrarea scoate în evidenţă legăturile dintre transformările rurale şi mijloacele de existentă durabile, evidenţiind, în particular, impactul transformărilor structurale în economia naţională. Pentru a atinge acest scop, au fost utilizate un şir de metode de cercetare, cum ar fi: analiza indicatorilor economici, metode de analiza comparativa, evaluarea impactului politicilor publice asupra dezvoltării rurale. Sectorul agroalimentar din Republica Moldova se bazează pe agricultura extensiva şi nu este adaptat suficient la condiţiile economiei de piaţa. Se observă o conştientizare continuă în ţară precum că economia rurala nu se refera doar la sectorul agrar, dar cuprinde un spectru intreg al necesitatilor populatiei inclusive standardele de viata, activitatile economice si resursele naturale. Lucrarea contine concluzii si propuneri cu privire la diversificarea agriculturii si activitatilor non-agrare în zonele rurale.
