Aspectele potențialului de export al produselor agroalimentare din Republica Moldova

Abstract

Given the importance of the agricultural sector in the economy in terms of employment, population, and poverty alleviation, Moldova can’t improve its economy overall and achieve sustainable growth without reforming its agricultural sector. Moldova’s exporters have been losing ground in their traditional markets to the east, as market architectures evolve and competitors from the enlarged EU and Asia are moving in. The performance of selected activities in competitive agricultural export markets attests to the resilience of the country’s entrepreneurs and managers. Export of agricultural products or processed products from them is without considerable income for producers, since the value added per tonne of product is modest. In this situation, corporate enterprises can exploit their export potential only by increasing cultivated areas, receiving significant amounts of one or several of products in which they are specialized. On the other hand, farms can increase their export potential by creating producers associations representing one or a few related agricultural products, maintaining the individual form of agricultural land use, but using the same standards of production and technology storage, processing and trading.
