Moldovan traders-exporters have announced that the Euroquota for duty-free supply of plums to the European Union for 2021 was fully selected by early October. Around 20-30% of these plums were sent to Romania for processing. The domestic market price for low quality plums remained stable due to these exports. However, producers of fruit distillates have withdrawn from the industrial plum market due to increased licensing and bottling costs, leading to a change in market pricing. Currently, illiquid quince is being offered to local distillate producers at a symbolic price, but the situation may change if parliament passes proposed legislation regulating fruit distillates.
