<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis year’s edition is about the sector’s ability to adapt and move forward despite growing climatic, economic, and geopolitical challenges. We can’t discuss the future without investments, modern technologies, and genuine collaboration throughout the entire value chain. In recent years, Moldovan fruits have reached consumers’ tables in the European Union and other regions \u2014 a result we are proud of, but which also comes with the responsibility to maintain quality, competitiveness, and earned trust,\u201d stated Vitalie Gorincioi, President of the Moldova Fruct Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Moldova Fruct Association is an example of organization, dedication, and ambition in the agricultural sector. It has demonstrated capacity, explored new markets, and leveraged the potential of Moldovan horticulture. In all our discussions with international partners, horticulture is recognized as a priority sector due to its significant export volumes, substantial contributions to the state budget, and its crucial role in rural development. Today\u2019s challenges are a motivation to become better, more efficient, and more united. I’m pleased that this edition has focused on technology, innovation, and climate change adaptation solutions. That\u2019s exactly the direction we need to follow. This spring was difficult. Unfavorable weather events affected many orchards, but we are currently assessing the damage, and the Government will provide targeted, effective support to meet the needs of those affected,\u201d said Ludmila Catlabuga, Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year\u2019s host is Fani SRL<\/strong> from Micle\u0219ti \u2014 a model of long-term investment and vision in horticulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFani SRL is one of Moldova\u2019s largest exporters of stone fruits, and this position compels us to look confidently at the future of the whole sector. We strongly believe in the potential of Moldovan horticulture, which is why we invested in production and post-harvest infrastructure in Micle\u0219ti. We aim not only to maintain the standards we\u2019ve achieved but to exceed them \u2014 with greater responsibility for quality, the environment, and our partners,\u201d said \u0218tefan B\u00eetlan, company manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, the exhibition attracted 450 visitors \u2014 farmers and specialists from all over the country \u2014 who aim to apply the proposed solutions to adapt their businesses to new market realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur innovation this year is the introduction of protected varieties, imported from Germany under a partnership contract with a specialized company. We\u2019re talking about plum trees, but also other species like cherry, flat peach, and apricot \u2014 all delivered with a blue label, \u201cCertified\u201d category, in line with international phytosanitary standards. These are licensed varieties, bringing added value and security for Moldovan growers. Also starting this year, we offer growers the opportunity to cultivate cherries in digitalized greenhouses,\u201d said Dorin Talmaci, exhibitor, Raludor-Expo SRL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m from Orhei, and this year our production was hit by hail and, in some places, frost. I came to the exhibition to exchange experiences with other producers, to see what solutions and truly useful technologies they\u2019ve applied. I\u2019m particularly interested in anti-hail protection options \u2014 we\u2019re analyzing what investments are worth making to secure our orchards in the future,\u201d said Ruslan Savin, visitor, Rusmi Grup SRL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The event is organized by the Moldova Fruct Association with the support of strategic partners \u2014 the European Union and the Moldova Investment Agency. The exhibition’s general partners are UNITEC and ProCredit Bank Moldova. The main media partner is Agrobiznes, with additional media support from Agro TV Moldova, Agroexpert, Agromedia, and Agrobook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 7th edition of the specialized exhibition for horticultural technology and innovation, Fruit Day, organized by the Moldova Fruct Association, has taken on an international dimension this year.
