In 2023, Moldova became the largest plum exporter to the European Union, a significant shift from its previous reliance on Russia. Following President Maia Sandu's move to sever ties with Russia after the Ukraine invasion, Moldova produced a record 150,000 tons of plums, exporting 60,000 tons to the EU. This transition has seen the EU market account for nearly 65% of Moldova's exports, with the overall export value doubling in the past decade.
