Exports from the Republic of Moldova to the United Arab Emirates saw a significant increase in the first quarter of 2022, reaching over $1 million, a fivefold increase compared to the same period last year. Approximately 80% of these exports were fresh apples, amounting to around 5,000 tons. This surge in exports is attributed to collective efforts to promote Moldovan products internationally and meetings with distributors and buyers. Other exports included dried fruits, seeds, butter, ice cream, medicines, barley, and bakery products.
