Abstract:
At the end of XX century, essential changes took place in the fruit growing of the Republic of Moldova, both concerning the cultivated surface and the total production of fruits. Therefore the fruit growing inheritance surface was reduced from 251 thousands ha in 1993, to 111,8 thousands ha in 2006. At the same time, the importance of fruit growing plantations from the private sector increased from 20% to 52,3% in 2005. The production of fruit decreased drastically, from 1,09 million tons in 1993 to 0,37 million tons in 2006. The authors intended to emphasize the situation of the Republic of Moldova’s fruit growing and the measures for increasing the plantations productivity.
