Moldova Agriculture

"The main objective of this program is to support Moldovan agro-food companies in establishing a sustainable export position on international/EU markets through targeted assistance in meeting EU market requirements, delivery of knowledge of the European markets, as well as providing opportunities for entering these markets. The program specifically targets companies producing fresh fruits (apples, grapes, stone fruits), processed fruits, as well as honey producers. CBi is implementing this program together with the International Finance Cooperation. Although IFC and CBI will closely collaborate on the implementation of all programme activities foreseen under all phases of the Project, both parties agreed that each has their own tasks and responsibilities: to ensure effective implementation of the programme, IFC will leverage its presence on the ground, country and sector knowledge, as well as established stakeholder networks, and CBI will provide its worldwide expertise in the area of development and promotion of agro-food exports from developing countries. More specifically, CBI will deliver the required international expertise through export coaching, and IFC, with assistance from the Moldova Fruct Association, will ensure the local expertise and organizational support i.e the business environment interventions. For the implementation of the program, CBI and IFC, closely work together with local sector organization Moldova Fruct, who are also supported with capacity development in the program. "
