This year's apple harvest estimated at around 450,000 tons in Moldova

This year's apple harvest is estimated at 450,000 tons. Thus, apple producers in the country will harvest about 14% less fruit this season than in 2023, according to forecasts of the Moldova Fruct Association. Export quantities will remain at last year's level.

The drop in overall production is due to drought, reduction of apple tree areas, unfavourable weather conditions and limited access to irrigation, the Moldova Fruct Association pointed out.

From the harvest of the 2023-2024 season, Moldovan producers exported about 133,000 tons of apples. They reached more than 30 countries of the world. The volume of exports increased compared to the 2022–2023 season, when 124,000 tons were sold in foreign markets. Exports to the EU practically doubled to 22,000 tons, the main destination is Romania, with a share of 90%.
