Association of producers of table grapes

Internationally, the Republic of Moldova is marked among the countries with a developed wine industry. In our country, with natural climate and soil conditions favorable for the growth and fruiting of vines, viticulture is one of the main branches of agriculture. Cultivation of table grapes in the Republic of Moldova has a history of more than 5,000 years, establishing trade routes for wines and table grapes between ancient Greece and the territory on which the Republic of Moldova is currently located. Efficient Agriculture in Moldova has built on this valuable heritage, working in partnership with sector associations, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to establish new trade routes for table grapes from the Republic of Moldova. For the presentation of the material in the given article, a diverse set of methods specific to economic research were used, such as the analytical method, the synthesis method, the economic-mathematical method, the methods in the form of figures and tabulations, being complemented by the quantitative and qualitative analysis, the systemic approach . As a consequence of the inadequate exchanges between the main links of the value chain, of the exposure of the domestic market with cheap agro-food products from (especially for our domestic producers) the agricultural sector is the first to suffer from the lack of sources of extended reproduction, even simple, of its production potential. The dimensions of the illicit "seizure" of reproductive factors in the agricultural sector are enormous. The results of the research of the material presented in this article is expressed by the statement that Pergola-type intensive production systems lead to a significant increase in the yield of table grape production in our country, determining a major economic efficiency in the given sector. The purpose of this material is the theoretical and methodical substantiation of the association of table grape producers and the improvement of the respective sector through cooperation in the Republic of Moldova. Proposals are proposed to increase the economic efficiency of the production of table grapes by using new technologies and forms of cooperation - cluster models. In the Republic of Moldova, research is being carried out for the first time on the efficiency of table grapes grown in the Pergola system, as well as its impact on the development of the wine sector.
