Glossary

1

FARMER

The Moldovan autumn agro-industrial exhibition held at Moldexpo in Chișinău, covering tractors and implements, crop inputs, irrigation, livestock equipment, post-harvest handling and food processing; it runs as a paired show with MOLDAGROTECH.

2

MOLDAGROTECH

The Moldovan agricultural machinery and technology exhibition held in autumn at Moldexpo alongside FARMER, covering tractors, tillage and seeding implements, sprayers, harvest equipment and spare parts.

3

Moldexpo

The International Exhibition Centre Moldexpo in Chișinău, the state exhibition venue on Strada Ghioceilor 1 in the Buiucani sector that hosts FARMER and MOLDAGROTECH; indoor halls sit next to open-air areas used for machinery displays.

4

Buiucani

The north-western sector of Chișinău in which the Moldexpo fairground sits; most hotels within 1-3 km of the venue are in Buiucani or the adjacent city centre.

5

MDL

Moldovan leu, the national currency of Moldova used for local transport fares, taxis, parking and cash purchases in Chișinău; card payment is common in hotels and supermarkets but not at every market stall.

6

Chișinău International Airport (KIV)

The main international gateway for the show, located roughly 10-12 km south-east of the city centre and served by direct flights from a number of European cities; taxis and pre-booked transfers run to Moldexpo.

7

e-Visa

Moldova's online visa application service at evisa.gov.md for travellers whose nationality requires a visa for a short business or visitor stay; apply before booking non-refundable travel.

8

Cereals and oilseeds

The core Moldovan field-crop group shown at FARMER: wheat, barley, maize, sunflower and rapeseed, together with the seed, fertiliser and crop-protection inputs that support them.

9

No-till and minimum tillage

Reduced-cultivation systems promoted at the show to preserve soil moisture in Moldova's dry summers; exhibitors display direct seed drills, strip-till toolbars and residue-management equipment.

10

Post-harvest and grain storage

Drying, cleaning, conveying and silo storage equipment for grain and oilseed, a recurring exhibit category because Moldovan farms increasingly store crops to sell outside the harvest price trough.

11

Irrigation and water management

Drip lines, sprinkler and pivot systems, pumps and filtration on show for orchards, vines and vegetables, driven by recurring drought risk in the south and centre of Moldova.

12

Orchard and vineyard mechanisation

Pruning, spraying, mowing and harvesting equipment for plum, apple, table grape and wine grape holdings, one of the most distinctly Moldovan segments of the FARMER exhibit profile.

13

Zootechnics and livestock equipment

Feeding, watering, milking and barn-climate equipment for cattle, pig and poultry units, displayed alongside forage and feed-handling machinery.

14

Crop protection and fertiliser inputs

Herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, foliar nutrition and granular fertilisers presented by distributors working with Moldovan agri-input retailers and cooperatives.

15

Spare parts and after-sales service

Importer and dealer stands supplying filters, wear parts, bearings and service contracts for tractors and implements; relevant if you run mixed-brand fleets and need regional parts support.

16

ANSA

Moldova's National Food Safety Agency, responsible for phytosanitary and veterinary certification; exporters of grain, fruit or processed food should confirm current ANSA requirements before contracting.
