Moldova is constantly cutting peach orchards. As the ministers explain, most of the dead and abandoned trees were barren and old.

Moldovan gardeners do not share the opinion of the Ministry of Agriculture, having their own view on the problem of desolation and reduction of peach plantations. Farmers say that the sale of peaches has ceased to be profitable, as it was before, and it is no longer profitable to grow these fruits.

According to the Agency for Interventions and Payments in Agriculture, from the first days of this year, gardeners from Moldova received about 4 million lei (1 lei - $ 0.057) for cutting about 300 hectares of peach plantations.

AIPA offers country gardeners subsidies in the amount of 20 thousand lei / ha for planting peach trees. But even state support cannot motivate Moldovan farmers to return to a business that has lost all appeal to them.

Over the past two years, only 18 hectares of peach orchards were laid at the expense of state support in the form of subsidies.
