Officials from agricultural producers’ organizations in Moldova have pointed at several factors which may significantly affect the prices of cherries on the domestic market in early summer 2021. However, not all of them share the opinion that prices for local cherries at the beginning of the marketing season will be significantly lower than last year that was noted for a low production.
Since prices for sweet cherries in the EU are high this year due to huge crop losses caused by weather, export opportunities for Moldova will be better than usual. Analysts had earlier pointed out the opportunities for Moldova and Ukraine to export cherries to Italy but other EU countries will have good demand for this fruit during the season as well.
