Conference organized with the EU support: “Fruit Business in Moldova”

Over 300 Moldovan and foreign representatives of the fruit business sector gather today at the Fruit Business Conference that will held its sessions on 27-28 November 2025 in Chisinau.

The conference is at its XI edition and represents the most important platform for information and networking, where Moldovan fruit producers and exporters learn the best practices from experts from Moldova, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany and Spain.

The 2025 edition of the Conference is focused on the strategies and policies to increase the Moldovan fruits competitiveness while integrating into the European Union’s market, as well as on the introduction of smart climate-resilient technologies, and effective solutions for managing pests and diseases.

In his opening speech, Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu stated: “The European Union is becoming, year after year, an increasingly important market for Moldovan fruits. Our farmers have demonstrated that they can consistently deliver, at high standards, ever-increasing quantities. Moldovan fruits have a place on store shelves in Europe and the world, and Moldovan farmers have a place among the most respected and competitive producers”.

Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova, Iwona Piórko, highlighted: ”The European Union stands with Moldova. We have mobilised unprecedented financial support —a €1.9 billion Growth Plan. Significant funding has been allocated to the agri-food sector, as well as targeted expertise and technical assistance at all levels. In this joint effort, the EU stands for quality products, market integration, business competitiveness, and unlocking Moldova’s growth potential, while ensuring environmental sustainability and fair income for producers of all sizes.”

The conference discussion panels focused on sharing experience and best practices in exporting apples, plums, cherries, apricots and other fruits to the EU market. Fruit producers and exporters emphasized the importance of adopting modern technologies and sustainable practices to meet international requirements and ensure long-term growth of the fruit business.

The event is organized by the Fruit Producers and Exporters Association of Moldova”Moldova Fruct”, with the support of the European Union in the framework of the project ‚Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration’ and the Invest Moldova Agency.
