Abstract:
The Republic of Moldova has all the natural conditions for the intensive
development of fruit-growing. This branch had and still has chances to remain one of the
pillars of the national agriculture, determining the efficiency of the entire agrarian field of the
country. Occupying only 6.5 – 7% of the arable land from the Republic, in the last two
decades, the fruit-growing ensured permanently about 15-20% of the incomes, which
proceeded from commercializing the farming production. In the intensive orchards of
Moldova, apple trees occupy more than 70% of the area of 110 thousands ha and yield 60-
70% of the total fruit production.
