‘I do not want to reveal the secret yet, but it is expected that between 20th and 27th of August Romania will make an important announcement’, - Login has stated.
It has also been emphasized that Moldovan farmers should not restrict themselves by the European market limits, e.g. export quotes of 80 000 tonnes of apples.
