Moldova

The agricultural sector plays a central role in the country’s economy. 73% of utilised agricultural area is arable land, among the highest percentage in Eastern Europe.

In 2022, exports of cereals and cereal-based preparations from The Republic of Moldova have increased by 2.6 times, while imports have increased by 56.7%.

In 2018, Moldova produced 1.1 million tonnes of wheat. However, wheat exports from Moldova fluctuate, but are on the increase with 85,000 tonnes exported in 2020.

Ukraine

Ukraine is a critical supplier of grains and related crops such as sunflower seed.

Ukraine accounts for 10% of the world wheat market, 15% of the corn market, and 13% of the barley market.

The war in Ukraine is having a major impact on food supply chains. Despite this, Ukraine is expected to produce 67 million MT of grains and oilseeds in the 2022/23.

We continue to work with our colleagues that remain in the region and those that find themselves displaced due to the war, to help to find supplies to satisfy global demand.

River Danube

The Danube river is a major route for European freight and issues into the Black Sea through its delta in Romania beyond the major sea port of Constanta. However the northern Danube delta borders on Ukraine which opperates river ports such as Izmail.

The Danube is not tidal and deals in barge traffic for bulk loads. More than 40 million tons of goods were carried on the Danube waterway and its tributaries in 2014, whereby a total of 14.3 million tons were transported on the Romanian Danube-Black Sea Canal.

The largest transport volumes are realised on the Lower Danube (Romania, Serbia).
