Grape producers were equally enthusiastic about the festival, recognizing its importance for the development of Moldovan viticulture. "I was excited to participate in the festival and meet with other grape producers," said Vitalie Văcaru, a grape grower from Ștefan Vodă. "We exchanged ideas and experiences, and made plans for next year based on the challenges we faced this year. One of the interesting discoveries was the 'aperen' grape, a unique variety with distinctive characteristics."
"We showcased a large quantity of table grapes and believe that increasing production is essential for our export market," said Serghei Ibrișîm, a grape producer from Comrat. "This will also create more jobs in the region."
