Republic of Moldova Value Chain Gap Analysis
Agriculture and food industry sectors have a major importance for the Moldovan economy. The Republic of Moldova has one of the highest share of rural population among the countries in Europe and Central Asia, and its agriculture sector significantly contributes to the country’s gross domestic product. This work is a part of a series of studies on the value chain development gaps and the environment for doing business for farmers. The goal of this study is to try to consolidate the information on countrywide value chain development gathered from various open sources and based on materials developed in a field mission by FAO officers with an emphasis on the plum and berry value chains. The authors did not aim at close examination of the selected value chains; rather, this paper is a general overview that will be a reference point for future field work in the country. To get the results, the authors analysed the legislative history related to value chains, collected materials and statistics from open sources, conducted a field mission and interviewed stakeholders. The first part of the report observes the overall situation in the Republic of Moldova with a focus on the agriculture sector, reviewing related legislation, the environment for doing business for farmers, and trade. The paper examines existing support measures for agriculture and covers the banking sector and trade policy. The second part examines value chain actors and overviews the selected value chains of plums and berries. The final part provides recommendations.
