VIDEO // Strategic investment in poultry sector: new, one-of-a-kind feed factory in Moldova being built with EU's financial support

Moldova is taking an important step towards modernizing its agri-food industry and aligning with EU standards by building a new, state-of-the-art feed factory. The project, considered unique on the local market, due to the technologies implemented, is being carried out with direct financial support on behalf of the European Union.

The new production unit will have a capacity of 40 tons of feed per day. This output is meant both to cover the needs of the domestic market, contributing to the country’s feed security, and to be geared towards export, opening up new business opportunities for Moldova’s livestock sector.

Essential pillar for poultry meat exports to the EU

This investment is strategic for the poultry sector of Moldova. The production of high-quality feed that complies with stringent European standards is an essential and indispensable condition for authorizing and facilitating the export of poultry meat to the European Union’s single market.

Ensuring controlled and high-quality nutrition for birds guarantees the safety and quality of the final product, enabling local producers to be competitive at international level and to access a vast consumer market.

Financing through the EU Growth Plan for Moldova

The construction of the factory is financed through the European Union’s Growth Plan for Moldova. This ambitious support programme, with a total value of 1.9 billion euros, is meant to accelerate the country’s economic development, support structural reforms and improve citizens’ quality of life.

The direct beneficiary of this funding is AXEDUM, an important player on the local poultry market. The company succeeded in accessing these European funds through the state aid scheme, proving the project’s viability and its alignment with both national and European development priorities.

 

This investment exemplifies how the European Union’s financial assistance concretely contributes to modernizing production infrastructure of Moldova, increasing the competitiveness of local economic operators, and gradually integrating the national economy into the European single market.
