Moldovan people love cheese, called here \u201cbr\u00e2nz\u0103\u201d or \u201cca\u0219\u201d. In the last year, more and more cheese producers appeared on the market. Some of them manage to export their products.<\/p>\n<p>There are farmers that produce cheese after the original <a href=\"http:\/\/moldnova.eu\/ro\/in-moldova-se-produce-cascaval-italian-olandez-si-francez-de-ce-produsele-nu-ajung-in-magazine-17986.html\/\">recipe<\/a> of Gouda, Tomme, Crottin, Mozzarella, Cheddar, etc. The technologies are foreign, the ingredients are local. In such a way, a tasty, qualitative, certified and relatively cheap cheese can be obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a unique kind of cheese is produced in Moldova as well \u2013 \u201cBr\u00e2nza de Popeasca\u201d, a product that is protected by the European Commission. It is one of the few authentic products from Moldova that were qualified as products with a<a href=\"http:\/\/moldnova.eu\/ro\/10-produse-din-moldova-protejate-de-ue-dar-pe-care-moldovenii-nu-le-cunosc-24714.html\/\"> protected designation of origin<\/a>. Once it obtained such a labelling, it can no longer be manufactured according to the same recipe and the same name anywhere in the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/nataalbot.md\/2016\/08\/01\/gustar-experience-ziua-1\/\">\u201cBr\u00e2nza de Popeasca\u201d<\/a> is a cheese with different additions like dill, parsley, olives, and other kinds of cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the biggest problem of the domestic cheesemakers in Moldova remains the market. Large retailers have conditions that farmers can\u2019t meet, and the state has no policies to promote local producers.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the Moldovan exports depend very much on the regional market \u2018mood\u2019 and the decisions of the political leaders from the closest partner countries. For example, the Moldovan wine producers, including those from the Transnistrian region, were recently <a href=\"https:\/\/moldova.europalibera.org\/a\/exporturile-spre-rusia-una-cald%C4%83-alta-rece\/29709313.html\">overwhelmed<\/a> by a decision taken by the Russian authorities to impose trade restrictions on Ukraine. Consequently, products that have to transit Ukraine were also affected. Some of the exporters from Moldova already targeted the Korean, Chinese, Japanese, EU and American markets as an alternative for the CIS states, inspiring other exporters to do the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, whereas in 2005, the Moldovan exports to the CIS states represented 50.5% of the total exports, it decreased to a share of 19.1% in 2017, according to the NBS data. In the same time, the exports to the EU member states increased from a share of 40.6% of the total exports in 2005 to 65.8% in 2017. A raising trend is also registered in the case of China, Japan, USA, South Korea and other countries. The share of the total exports for these countries raised from 8.8% in 2005 to 15.1% in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref6\" name=\"_ftn6\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 6<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>The Republic of Moldova is a small country, so are its annual exports.

Moldovan people love cheese, called here \u201cbr\u00e2nz\u0103\u201d or \u201cca\u0219\u201d. In the last year, more and more cheese producers appeared on the market. Some of them manage to export their products.<\/p>\n<p>There are farmers that produce cheese after the original <a href=\"http:\/\/moldnova.eu\/ro\/in-moldova-se-produce-cascaval-italian-olandez-si-francez-de-ce-produsele-nu-ajung-in-magazine-17986.html\/\">recipe<\/a> of Gouda, Tomme, Crottin, Mozzarella, Cheddar, etc. The technologies are foreign, the ingredients are local. In such a way, a tasty, qualitative, certified and relatively cheap cheese can be obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a unique kind of cheese is produced in Moldova as well \u2013 \u201cBr\u00e2nza de Popeasca\u201d, a product that is protected by the European Commission. It is one of the few authentic products from Moldova that were qualified as products with a<a href=\"http:\/\/moldnova.eu\/ro\/10-produse-din-moldova-protejate-de-ue-dar-pe-care-moldovenii-nu-le-cunosc-24714.html\/\"> protected designation of origin<\/a>. Once it obtained such a labelling, it can no longer be manufactured according to the same recipe and the same name anywhere in the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/nataalbot.md\/2016\/08\/01\/gustar-experience-ziua-1\/\">\u201cBr\u00e2nza de Popeasca\u201d<\/a> is a cheese with different additions like dill, parsley, olives, and other kinds of cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the biggest problem of the domestic cheesemakers in Moldova remains the market. Large retailers have conditions that farmers can\u2019t meet, and the state has no policies to promote local producers.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the Moldovan exports depend very much on the regional market \u2018mood\u2019 and the decisions of the political leaders from the closest partner countries. For example, the Moldovan wine producers, including those from the Transnistrian region, were recently <a href=\"https:\/\/moldova.europalibera.org\/a\/exporturile-spre-rusia-una-cald%C4%83-alta-rece\/29709313.html\">overwhelmed<\/a> by a decision taken by the Russian authorities to impose trade restrictions on Ukraine. Consequently, products that have to transit Ukraine were also affected. Some of the exporters from Moldova already targeted the Korean, Chinese, Japanese, EU and American markets as an alternative for the CIS states, inspiring other exporters to do the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, whereas in 2005, the Moldovan exports to the CIS states represented 50.5% of the total exports, it decreased to a share of 19.1% in 2017, according to the NBS data. In the same time, the exports to the EU member states increased from a share of 40.6% of the total exports in 2005 to 65.8% in 2017. A raising trend is also registered in the case of China, Japan, USA, South Korea and other countries. The share of the total exports for these countries raised from 8.8% in 2005 to 15.1% in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref6\" name=\"_ftn6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='heateorSssClear'><\/div><div
