The Ambassador mentioned that the popularity of Moldovan products in the Chinese market is continuously growing.

“Both in China and Moldova, there is a saying: ‘Don’t give a man a fish, but teach him how to fish!’ In this regard, opening up the Chinese market more widely to Moldovan products is one of the ways we ‘teach Moldova to fish.’ I can say that, at present, I am the most active spokesperson and promoter of Moldovan agricultural products among Chinese consumers. The popularity and reputation of Moldovan wine in the Chinese market are continuously increasing. Through the efforts of our Embassy, Chinese customs authorities have simplified verification and approval procedures for the import of grape seed and sunflower seed meal from Moldova. The two sides are in the process of officially signing the relevant documents,” Yan Wenbin affirmed.

Furthermore, the official noted that the Chinese Embassy, in coordination with Moldovan authorities, has established a permanent coordination mechanism and will continue to actively promote access to the Chinese market for Moldovan products such as grape seeds, apples, table grapes, cherries, plums, and baby food.
