<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe entrepreneur who wants to produce only organic products<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The young man wants to develop an entire value chain: processing and growing cereals, raising animals, and processing meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In the future, I would like us to be certified organic\/bio internationally. To create an organic brand, you need to have organic land and feed organic food to the animals. This is how you grow organic meat. We have everything we need, we just have to strive for it,” says Denis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every year, the Pruteanu family raises 150-200 sheep, goats, and pigs, which are sold to processors at a much lower price than if they had their own meat shops. The young entrepreneur wants to raise more pigs in the near future and start processing meat, including opening a restaurant in the village of Vadul-Ra\u0219cov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We want to process meat and make sausages. In a few months, we will purchase breeding animals. When I was in Italy, I discovered a wide variety of sausages. I would like to make sausages like in Italy, but in the Republic of Moldova,” says the young man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jobs at home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the opening of the farm in the village of Vadul-Ra\u0219cov, ten jobs were created, which are so necessary in this locality located more than 100 kilometers from Chi\u0219in\u0103u. As the business develops, other jobs will be created for the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “If we start processing, we will create even more jobs. Everyone wants to stay in their country, work here, start a family, and raise their children. That’s what I want too, which is why I chose to return to Moldova,” says the young entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2024, 20 entrepreneurs, including Denis, have received support from the EU and UNDP to grow or launch their businesses. Supporting young entrepreneurs and the business environment is part of a broader effort by the European Union and UNDP to build trust and promote economic development on both sides of the Nistru River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This material was produced with the financial support of the European Union.
