Synopsis (short abstract) The compounded impacts of the war in Ukraine and adverse climatic conditions underline the urgency of supporting the livelihoods of the most vulnerable farming households in the Republic of Moldova. In addition to the impacts of the war in Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova has a high level of exposure and vulnerability to hydrometeorological hazards, which became more unpredictable and increased in frequency and severity because of climate change. This document presents a summary of the context, outputs, activities and funding requirements of the Rapid response plan (RRP) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the Republic of Moldova. Through the RRP, FAO is calling on resource partners to contribute to addressing the immediate needs of agriculture-dependent communities and tackling the urgent challenges of the Moldovan agrifood system. The RRP aims to prioritize interventions that can mitigate the short- and medium-term effects of the current crisis.

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Agriculture and food industry sectors have a major importance for the Moldovan economy. The Republic of Moldova has one of the highest share of rural population among the countries in Europe and Central Asia, and its agriculture sector significantly contributes to the country’s gross domestic product. This work is a part of a series of studies on the value chain development gaps and the environment for doing business for farmers. The goal of this study is to try to consolidate the information on countrywide value chain development gathered from various open sources and based on materials developed in a field mission by FAO officers with an emphasis on the plum and berry value chains. The authors did not aim at close examination of the selected value chains; rather, this paper is a general overview that will be a reference point for future field work in the country. To get the results, the authors analysed the legislative history related to value chains, collected materials and statistics from open sources, conducted a field mission and interviewed stakeholders. The first part of the report observes the overall situation in the Republic of Moldova with a focus on the agriculture sector, reviewing related legislation, the environment for doing business for farmers, and trade. The paper examines existing support measures for agriculture and covers the banking sector and trade policy. The second part examines value chain actors and overviews the selected value chains of plums and berries. The final part provides recommendations.

    Comprehensive analysis of the disaster risk reduction system for the agriculture sector in the Republic of Moldova 2023
    Also available in:
    This report aims to highlight the current strengths of the institutional disaster risk reduction (DRR) system for agriculture in the Republic of Moldova as well as indicate existing gaps and capacity needs to further enhance it. A comprehensive assessment is conducted, which includes a general overview of the country’s agricultural sector and outlines the most frequent natural hazards that are impacting the sector. It is followed by an analysis of the existing legal, policy and institutional structure and discusses various components of the system, including the functioning of early warning systems, assessments of disaster risks, post-disaster needs assessments, including damages and losses assessments and the availability of agricultural insurance for farmers. It concludes by providing recommendations for capacity building interventions to strengthen the current system to reduce the adverse impacts of natural hazards, in particular, floods, landslides and droughts, and climate change on agriculture in the Republic of Moldova.

    Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Republic of Moldova 2016–2019 2021
    Also available in:

    Half of the Moldovan population lives in rural areas. However, the rural employment rate is only 39 percent. Income from agricultural activities is low compared to other sectors of the economy. This evaluation seeks to contribute to organization-wide learning by drawing lessons and making recommendations that will be useful for FAO’s future engagement in Moldova. FAO provided highly specialized technical expertise to formulate strategies, policies and frameworks, and offer innovative approaches and solutions. Likewise, the evaluation found evidence of results leading to livelihood improvements, empowerment, and adoption of more sustainable practices and technologies. Nevertheless, FAO should further strive to support the transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind. In doing so, FAO should use the knowledge generated to refine programmes in consultation with key partners towards effective and sustainable results.
