In addition to huge investments in modern plantations, cold storages, high-performance sorting and packing lines, the members of Moldova Fruit Association agreed on a set of common values and rules that will lead to the continuous improvement of the quality of delivered fruits.

Thus, the promise to offer a really distinctive taste is complimented by the principle of continuous improvement of the quality of the fruits offered to consumers around the world.

The trademark “Moldova – taste makes the difference” has been promoted internationally since 2013.
