This was reported by Moldova's Ambassador to China, Petru Frunze, who noted that following a period of negotiations and discussions with Chinese authorities, a Phytosanitary Protocol was signed between China's General Administration of Customs and Moldova's National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) of Moldova, which paves the way for the export of Moldovan-produced honey to the Chinese market. The diplomat noted that this is an important step for our beekeepers and an opportunity to gain access to one of the largest consumer markets in the world. However, opening the market is only the first step. It will be followed by an important process of promotion and raising awareness: producers' participation in specialized exhibitions and trade fairs in China; identifying potential importers and distributors; and developing sustainable trade partnerships. Petr Frunze emphasized that the Moldovan Embassy in China will continue to support our producers in promoting Moldovan honey and facilitating contacts with Chinese partners. "A new, high-quality product from Moldova is making its way into the Chinese market. This is a new step toward diversifying export markets and promoting domestic products abroad," the diplomat noted. For its part, the National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) reported the emergence of a new export market for Moldovan honey, noting that Moldova is taking an important step toward the Chinese market. It was emphasized that, following negotiations and as part of technical cooperation between ANSA and China's General Administration of Customs, a Protocol was signed outlining the requirements applicable to the export of honey from Moldova to the Chinese market. This document establishes the necessary framework for exports and represents a significant outcome of efforts aimed at expanding access for Moldovan agri-food products to international markets. For local beekeepers and processors, this achievement opens up new trade opportunities, contributing to the diversification of sales markets, the realization of the beekeeping sector's potential, and the promotion of Moldovan honey on the international stage. In the next phase, ANSA will continue to support economic operators in meeting export requirements in cooperation with Chinese authorities and national agencies responsible for promoting foreign trade. ANSA notes that it continues to translate international cooperation into concrete opportunities for Moldovan producers. // 10.11.2026 — InfoMarket
