Moldova will receive $25 million from the World Bank, €65 million from the French Development Agency, and €53 million from the EBRD for the development of irrigation infrastructure

This information was presented by Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Ludmila Catlabuga during her speech in parliament. She noted that the World Bank, alongside the French Development Agency and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, are supporting investments in irrigation infrastructure. The World Bank is mobilizing about $25 million to expand irrigation on an area of about 8,800 hectares in Stefan Voda, Briceni, and Cahul districts. The estimated funding from the French Development Agency and the EBRD will be €65 million and €53 million, respectively, which will allow for the expansion of irrigation systems over an area of more than 10,000 hectares. The Minister of Agriculture emphasized that $21.5 million of the AGGRI project is earmarked for investment in the livestock sector. As part of four previously announced competitions for relevant grants, 13 contracts worth more than $10 million were signed for livestock farms engaged in cattle and sheep breeding. Starting in 2026, there are plans to expand the scope to include poultry farming, pig farming, vegetable growing, and niche horticulture. As part of the ADMA program, eight projects were implemented in 2021-2025, involving about 2,000 beneficiaries. Starting in 2026, in collaboration with JICA, there are plans to launch a program worth approximately 735 million lei aimed at upgrading agricultural machinery and investments focused on climate adaptation. IFAD's project portfolio over the past five years, estimated at $266.8 million, included approximately 200,000 beneficiaries and investments in rural infrastructure. The IFAD IX – AGRI-M program, with a budget of $56.7 million, aims to support more than 4,500 small-scale agricultural producers. Through the European Investment Bank, the Moldova Garden project has been expanded by another €150 million, of which €15 million has been allocated to laboratory and research infrastructure, with the remaining resources going towards concessional lending to farmers and processors. // 06.02.2026 — InfoMarket
