Ion Dulgheru, hailing from Todiresti village in the Ungheni district, is the proprietor of a specialized company focused on crafting nutritional bars, nut pasta infused with honey, and honey cream enriched with freeze-dried fruits.
“In our nascent stages, we handcrafted our bars within the confines of our home kitchen. With the aid of a grant obtained from Romania, we relocated our operations there, where we honed our craft for three years in a slightly more automated environment, although approximately 90% of the product was still handcrafted,” reveals Ion Dulgheru.
Upon returning to the Republic of Moldova with his family, Ion Dulgheru availed himself of support from the “EU4Moldova: Focal Regions” program, funded by the European Union and executed by UNDP and UNICEF.

Furthermore, Ion Dulgheru achieved a significant milestone by completing his inaugural export to Romania. He harbors ambitions of further penetrating European markets in the foreseeable future.
