(DAI) in Moldova. The main objective of the project is to increase the success of the Moldovan agriculture sector in the production and marketing of high value crops. In particular, ACED will provide technical assistance and training to high value agriculture (HVA) value chain entities, including farmers in the irrigation systems targeted for rehabilitation under the MCC Compact-funded Transition to High Value Agriculture Project (THVA), through a set of integrated and demand-driven activities focusing on 1) developing and expanding market opportunities for the Moldovan HVA sector; 2) upgrading production and the ability of the value chain to meet buyer requirements; 3) providing demand-driven technical assistance to upgrade the HVA value chain; and 4) implementing recommendations for an improved enabling environment. This support shall include training, further market network development, advocacy for policy reforms, and linking farmers to appropriate financing mechanisms. The future competitiveness of Moldovan agriculture and agribusiness depends upon the broad participation of both men and women and a broad spectrum of farmers and laborers in the agricultural sector. It also depends on the ability of men and women agricultural producers to remain competitive by improving their high value agriculture production. The integration and promotion of gender equity therefore becomes critical to the overall success and impact of the ACED project. As part of its effort to promote gender equitable opportunities, DAI contracted Development & Training Services, Inc. (dTS) to conduct a Gender Assessment to identify priority issues to be addressed and strategies for effectively promoting men’s and women’s equal participation in and benefits from the project. The Gender Assessment was conducted in consultation with ACED local partner, the National Federation of Agricultural Producers from Moldova (AGROinform), from July 18 to August 2, 2011. Using the Harvard Analytical Framework, the Moser

  • Agricultural Land Reform in Moldova
    AGRICULTURAL LAND REFORM IN MOLDOVA Matthew Gorton, Department of Agricultural Economics and Food Marketing, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU. United Kingdom. ABSTRACT During transition, Moldova has pursued a policy of small-scale land privatisiation and a sucession of decollectivisation initiatives. Small-scale land reform has been important for bolstering the real incomes of rural households but living standards have continued to fall. While initial political resistance to decollectivisation has been overcome, serious challenges remain for co-ordinating agricultural production, procurement and marketing from a newly fragmented structure of land ownership. The delay in issuing formal land titles has inhibited the development of land market. The former large-scale collective and state farms provided several key social services in rural areas and the delivery of these services in the post- collectivised era also represents a serious challenge. Key Words Land reform, Moldova, Decollectivisation 1. INTRODUCTION Under communism, state and collective farms dominated agricultural production in most Central and Eastern Europe Countries (CEECs). During transition, governments have attempted to reform agricultural production systems by pursuing policies of reorganisation, privatisation and / or land redistribution. However, the nature of land policies has varied significantly between countries (Swinnen, 1999). Moreover, these reform policies have typically taken longer to implement than initially thought and have had unforeseen effects (Swinnen and Tangermann, 1999). Land reform is one area of restructuring which has seemed disappointingly slow despite it been perceived as 'an essential cornerstone' in successful transformation (Lerman et al. 1998; World Bank, 1998a). This issue has been particularly prominent in Moldova where in 1996 agriculture and the food industries accounted for 40% of GDP and employed 50% of the active labour force (World Bank, 1998b).
