Stronger, more efficient promotion of agrifood products and new methodologies and indicators in agriculture and rural statistics are among the positive changes expected during the implementation of two new FAO projects in Republic of Moldova.

The project agreements were signed in Chisinau today by Raimund Jehle, the FAO Representative in Republic of Moldova, and Georgeta Mincu, the country’s Minister of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment. The projects, which will be implemented during the next two years, are expected to contribute to increases in agrifood exports and access to reliable statistical data for policy formulation and implementation.
