The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAIA) announced on February 5 that more and more producers in the country supported the creation of the Association of Vegetable Growers of Moldova.
“We start the week with good news, this is because, according to the Moldovan Farmers’ Federation (FARM), over two hundred vegetable growers in the country support the creation of the Association of Vegetable Growers. The agricultural community has already taken important steps to make this initiative a reality,” MAIA said.
Over 10 regional meetings were held with the participation of vegetable growers from more than 20 districts of the country.
The initiative of the Moldovan Farmers’ Federation to create the first profile association in the vegetable sector – the National Association of Vegetable Growers of Moldova (ANLRM) – was launched in early December 2023, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry.
