"Specialists believe that the success in expanding the geography of exports is due to investments in modern varieties, in post-harvest infrastructure and in the implementation of international standards," reads a press release of the Delegation of the European Union in the Republic of Moldova.
We mention that in all, this year, the Republic of Moldova exported more than 16,000 tons of cherries, worth more than 22 million dollars.
