In a pivotal gathering, the General Assembly of the Dairy Farmers' Association convened Friday, drawing together stakeholders from the business community, governmental bodies, and academia to chart out strategies for the advancement of the dairy sector.
Among the attendees, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry, Vladimir Bolea, emphasized the imperative for innovation and the adoption of modern agricultural practices to bolster production efficiency across farms.
Highlighting strides made in the dairy farming domain, the official underscored the sector's ongoing progress.
In a bid to further support dairy farmers, the Moldovan state has announced access to grants from the World Bank, commencing this year. This initiative, in addition to existing subsidies from the state budget, aims to facilitate the modernization and expansion of livestock holdings. The financial support allocated to the livestock sector amounts to $21 million, with individual grants capped at $1 million or 50% of the eligible investment, whichever is lower. Interested farmers are required to submit their applications to the territorial directorates of the Agency for Intervention and Payments in Agriculture by May 17, 2024.
Currently, the Republic of Moldova hosts over 200 farms specializing in dairy cattle farming, signifying the sector's significant presence and potential for growth.
