The farmers have signed a memorandum that they have sent to the authorities in Chisinau.

They are demanding the introduction of a moratorium on the calculation of penalties for loans taken, the enforcement of obligations, and the initiation of insolvency procedures for micro, small, and medium-sized farmers, until December 31, 2024, following the Romanian model. They are also demanding a solution to the problem of lending to farmers, as well as compensation for the drought.

When contacted by Moldova 1, representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture said they would provide a response later.
