Apricot production is a sector that is experiencing a dizzying development in recent years in Moldova. The demand for apricots on the international market is growing, so during last years we have invested in the production of apricots.
Currently, we have an apricot orchard that occupies an area of 28 hectares. The annual production and export volume is 400 tons.
We grow 4 varieties of apricots.
