The prospects of cultivating niche fruit crops in Moldova

From January 17 to 27, the Berry Producers Association Pomușoarele Moldovei, as part of the seventh cycle of "winter schools," with the support of the "Rural Competitiveness and Sustainability of Moldova" project, acquainted farmers with the prospects of cultivating niche fruit crops.

Alexander Yareschenko, Deputy Director of the Institute of Horticulture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences (Ukraine), shared his views on Moldova's potential for industrial production of heat-loving fruits. He highlighted alpine strawberries, jujube, azimina, persimmon, and baby kiwi (actinidia).

Aneta Ganenko, the chairperson of the Pomușoarele Moldovei Association, noted that these crops could interest orchardists and grape growers. Alpine strawberries have high profitability, and persimmon has become promising due to hybrid varieties.

Three-lobed azimina, jujube, and actinidia also attract farmers' attention with their unique characteristics. However, farmers must consider the specifics of agrotechnology and production risks to introduce these promising crops into Moldovan agriculture successfully.
