Implementation of the Moldovan-German project “Dialogue on Agricultural Policy” started

The German government will support the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry in adjusting the sectoral policy to the standards and requirements for accession to the European Union. This is possible thanks to a new Moldovan-German technical assistance project, “Agricultural Policy Dialogue” (APD), launched today in Chisinau.

“With the support of the German government, a new Moldovan-German technical assistance project, “Agricultural Policy Dialogue” is being held in our country, in which a team of international experts will support the Ministry, the Agency for Investments and Payments in Agriculture, and the National Agency for Food Safety in bringing the policy and administrative systems in the field of agriculture, rural development, and food safety in line with EU requirements. This is a comprehensive program, which will include several new and sometimes less traditional actions aimed at stimulating and improving the efficiency of the domestic agro-industrial complex,” said Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolya.

According to him, the structure of the relevant ministry will be changed and modernized.

“Shortly, with the help of German partners, a new organizational structure of the ministry will be presented, which will be a huge help for us, as we need the experience of the best to succeed and reach the level of European standards. We want to meet the criteria of a European, safe and efficient ministry,” Bolya said.
