Overview Share in G.D.P. – 16,6% Share in total exports – 40 % Population involved in agriculture– 27,5%. • Impact on economic growth – 38% • Agricultural lands – 2498,0 thousands ha (73,8%) • including: • arable land – 1810,5 thousand. ha • orchards – 134,5 thousands ha • vineyards – 147,3 thousands ha

  3. Strategic priorities for the development of agriculture2011 – 2015 (1) • Food safety reform; • Wine sector modernization; • Modern market infrastructure development; • Large scale use of smart agriculture (Minimum and No-Till); • Milk and meat production sector development.

  4. Strategic priorities for the development of agriculture2011 – 2015 (2) • Renewable energy production from agricultural raw materials; • Education and research in agriculture reform; • An efficient agricultural subsidy system; • E-agriculture – functional and efficient information systems; • Development of the fruit and vegetables sector.

  5. Key targets for the financial state support in agriculture General • A facilitated access of the credits provided by commercial banks to farmers; • Improved use of arable areas by land consolidation. Plant production • Extended production season (greenhouses and tunnels for growing vegetables) • Increase the transfer of innovation and technologies in agriculture • Increased perennial plantations establishments for growing grapes • Improved access to water through modern irrigation systems • Developed post –harvesting and marketing infrastructure  Animal production • Renovated technologies for animal farms •  Developed genetic fund for animal production

  15. Market potential for fruit and vegetables • Moldova has all the natural conditions for intensive development of horticulture. • Occupying only 6-7% of the arable land of the country, fruit growing ensures constant cash income to around 20% of sales agricultural products Fruits (2011) Production Area(fructiferous) - 88,3 thousands haAverage production -  4,1 tons / 1 ha Global production - 362,9 th. tons Distribution Export - 220.2 thousands tonsDomestic consumption - 75.4 th.  tonsProcessing - 67,3 th. tons Vegetables (2011) Production Area - 34.3 thousands ha Average production - 10.1 tons/1 ha Global production - 361,6 th. tons Distribution Export - 55,2 th. tons Domestic consumption - 278.4 th. tonsProcessing - 28,0 th. tons

  16. Production of the main fruit categories

  17. Priorities for investment in the sector • Establishment of new orchards with high productive and resistant varieties • Strengthening post harvesting and marketing infrastructure • Stimulating the production in greenhouses for extending the production season of vegetables • Development and implementation of modern technologies for fruit and vegetables processing

  18. The structure of the plant production

  19. Export of the fruits and vegetables in 2007-2012, mil. USD
