An increase was noted in the value of foreign trade in agricultural products from the Republic of Moldova to the People’s Republic of China. The conclusion was reached by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Vladimir Bolea and Ambassador of China to Chisinau Yan Wenbin at yesterday’s meeting.
Strengthening of economic relations between the states, promoting the export of agricultural products to the Chinese market and analyzing administrative and logistical impediments for the delivery of batches of fresh fruits and vegetables were the main topics of the discussion.
According to Yan Wenbin, Chinese markets are kept open for Moldovan agricultural products. Special interest is marked in cherries, sour cherries, grape seeds, nuts, oil, sawdust, apples, wine, cereals etc. Domestic producers should show more initiative to obtain the importer’s license, which is a key moment for accelerating exports.
