Moldova's Association of Berry Producers Pomușoarele Moldovei is advocating for a reduction in the VAT rate from 20% to 8% for all berries, including those currently classified as 'other' and subject to the higher rate, such as blueberries and sea buckthorn. The association argues that high VAT rates hinder the growth of the domestic market for these berries and incentivize export. They believe that reducing indirect taxes will make these berries more accessible to Moldovan consumers and are hopeful that this will boost domestic demand, despite potential impacts on state revenue.

At the moment, in Moldova, a reduced VAT rate (8%) is applied to only some of the main types of berries - strawberries, raspberries, currants, blackberries, gooseberries. Whereas berries, designated in legislative acts as “other”, are subject to basic VAT (20%). This “not preferential” category includes mainly “niche” berries: blueberries, sea buckthorn, red and chokeberry mountain ash, goji, etc. High VAT hinders the expansion of the segment of these berries in the domestic market and, conversely, in some sense stimulates their export sales, writes EastFruit. The Association of Berry Producers Pomușoarele Moldovei is determined to persuade the country's government to impose a balanced and, at the same time, reduced VAT on all berries.
