Israel and Moldova forge historic agricultural partnership focusing on wheat cultivation, combining Israeli agritech with Moldovan farmland to enhance food security and agricultural cooperation. Israel has moved to strengthen its food security with a new partnership inked this week with Moldova, one of Eastern Europe’s leading agricultural producers.
The memorandum of understanding, signed in Chisinau during Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter’s official visit, establishes joint wheat cultivation projects combining Israeli technology with Moldovan farmland and manpower. Under the agreement, Israel will supply advanced wheat seeds and agronomic know-how, while Moldova provides fertile soil, water resources, and labor. The project will operate as a commercial venture, marking the first agricultural accord between the two countries since Israel opened its embassy in Moldova earlier this year.
The initiative is part of the Agriculture Ministry’s long-term “Treat the Wheat”program, developed in response to the global grain crisis of 2022. The strategy includes boosting Israel’s agricultural output by 30 percent within a decade and tripling the share of domestically grown wheat from 10 to 30 percent. (Read More)
