Republic of Moldova to negotiate €150 million financing for Livada Moldovei II project
The Republic of Moldova is initiating negotiations to secure €150 million in financing for the implementation of Livada Moldovei II project. The Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy has approved the start of negotiations and the signing of the financing agreement between the Republic of Moldova and the European Investment Bank (EIB).
The agreement continues the partnership launched in 2016 with the implementation of the first phase of Livada Moldovei project – a credit line through which the EIB supported investments in the horticultural sector via participating commercial banks.
Livada Moldovei II project expands this cooperation and covers a broader range of agricultural activities, while also contributing to the European path of the Republic of Moldova. The new project aims to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural sector, align it with European Union standards, reduce rural poverty, strengthen food security, and support the EU accession process.
Most of the financing – approximately €135 million – will be provided through financial intermediaries to microenterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, and mid-cap companies operating in fields such as horticulture, viticulture, livestock farming, and aquaculture, as well as activities related to agricultural processing, irrigation, and digitalization. Another roughly €15 million will be allocated to public investments in research and education infrastructure, food safety, and public services for the sector.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, the €150 million in concessional financing will generate total investments of over €300 million, including the contribution of final beneficiaries. The main expected effects include the modernization of agri-food infrastructure, the creation of jobs in rural areas, increased exports with higher added value, and reduced dependence on food imports.
