The Government of Moldova will negotiate with Poland a loan of €100 million for supporting the agrifood sector. Prime Minister Iurie Leanca will sign an order to this effect. The loan will be repayable in 25 years, with a grace period of 10 years, at an interest rate of 0.2%, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the Government.

In a national conference, Iurie Leanca said the free trade area with the EU will have a positive impact on the economic development of Moldova. He underlined the importance of making progress in the process of meeting the European standards in the agrifood sector given the anticipated signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union, which envisions the creation of a free trade area with the EU.

The event brought together representatives of state institutions responsible for food safety and producers from the poultry-breeding sector of the country. They discussed the prospects of the poultry exports to the EU, the projects promoted in this respect and modern solutions for managing the area.
