Moldovan Fruit Exports Diversify, Increasing Sales to India and Israel
What happened
Moldova is a major producer of stone fruit, pome fruit, and grapes, with roughly 90% of its fruit finding a destination on the export market. Moldovan fruit has become a fixed link in the supply chain in Europe and the Gulf states, while India and Israel are also taking increasing volumes of the produce.

Why it matters
The increased volumes to India and Israel highlight the successful diversification of Moldovan agricultural exports. This shift in markets was necessary after the Russian market closed its doors to Moldovan products in August 2022.
Moldova previously exported fresh fruit to markets within the European Union, though the war in Ukraine impacts Odesa port access for Moldovan exports.
