The national agricultural and rural development strategy has been signed by all the ministers. In a meeting on May 13, the final text of the strategy and formulations accepted by the representatives of all the institutions with powers in rural development were agreed, IPN reports, quoting the Ministry of Economy.

The provisions enabling the Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture to authorize all the payments and to manage all the rural development funds were excluded from the document as they allowed the Agency to take over the relevant duties from the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Regional Development and Construction, the Ministry of Health and other ministries.

After the changes were made, the strategy was signed by all the competent ministers, including Minister of Regional Development and Construction Marcel Raducan, Minister of Education Maia Sandu and Minister of Labor and Social Protection Valentina Buliga.
