Summary: | The research explores the current evo-
lution and transformation of the global agri-
cultural market, as well as the appropriate adjust-
ment capacity of the Republic of Moldova's
agricultural exports. The article represents a
quantitative and qualitative research, which capi-
talizes the specialized literature and analyses
international trade data. The findings showed
the agricultural trade of the countries of the
world currently registers a fluctuating but mar-
kedly increasing trend, becoming truly global as
an increasing part of it takes place in global
agricultural and food processing value chains.
We revealed the characteristics of the global
agricultural market, the challenges it faces,
including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the war in Ukraine. We have carried out a
quantitative and qualitative analysis of the recent
evolution of international grain prices, the evo-
lution of Moldovan agricultural exports, addres-
sing the current opportunities for them, arguing
that the economy of the Republic of Moldova
is highly dependent on trade in agricultural
plant products.
