Moldova is celebrating a remarkable increase in its grape exports to the European Union, with fresh grape shipments more than doubling in volume from January to July 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The export quantity surged from 5,015 tons to an impressive 12,527 tons, with Romania and Poland emerging as primary destinations for these grapes. This notable growth highlights Moldova's expanding presence in the European market and the rising demand for its agricultural products.
Further data from the National Statistics Bureau of Moldova reveals a broader positive trend in the country’s agricultural sector. During the first five months of 2024, exports of oilseeds saw a 1.6-fold increase, reflecting robust international demand. Additionally, vegetable and fruit exports grew by 24.3%, while the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages sector experienced a 13% boost. The first half of 2024 also witnessed a significant 65% rise in dried fruit exports, with volumes increasing from 4,000 tons to 6,600 tons.
These impressive export figures underscore the European Union's pivotal role as Moldova’s largest economic partner, absorbing over 65% of its exports and accounting for more than 81% of foreign direct investments into the country. The EU’s strong market presence and investment support are crucial to Moldova’s agricultural success and economic growth.
