The production of table grapes in Moldova amounts to 92,000 tons per year over the past three years; of this, 65,000 tons was exported. More than 1,500 hectares of table grapes are grown near the village of Costesti, in the Ialoveni region. The main grape variety for production and export is the “Moldova” due to its resistance to diseases, pests and adverse weather conditions.
Ion Sula is the President of the Association of Producers and Exporters of Table Grapes of Moldova. He recently explained: “The development of the Costesti village’s table grape industry became possible to a large extent thanks to the Association of Producers and Exporters of Table Grapes of Moldova, which actively helps producers to unite efforts to improve the technology of growing table grapes, and also lobbies for the interests of producers. The Association was founded in 2014. It includes 105 participants. 30% of the exports of table grapes from the Republic of Moldova is carried out by the members of the association.”
According to Sula, 95% of Moldovan table grapes are exported go to 18 countries at this time. “We have been exporting grapes not only to Russia, Ukraine and the CIS countries, but also to the EU countries (Romania, Poland), as well as to the UK and the Baltic states since 2014. We even exported to Turkey, the Arab Emirates and Iran in 2020,” the industry specialist noted.
