Moldova |
In 2012 Moldova suffered one of the most severe droughts in the recent history causing huge reductions in yields and crop failure.
Maize yields declined by 59% and sunflower yields declined by 53% compared to the multiannual average.
While no shortfalls in food availability are envisaged, there could be serious problems in economic access to the food for the poorest members of Moldovan society, as due to the demands the prices of food available in the market has been increased.
Although at the aggregated national level, the impact of the 2012 drought seems to be less severe than the previous drought of 2007, in the South region of Moldova and in some parts of the Centre region, the impact of the 2012 drought appears to be more intense. The Southern region as the most affected one registered the most severe drops in production in the country, in particular for the maize and sunflower crops. Similar impacts are expected for the Transnistria region. According to the Minister of Economy, Moldova might lose over 1.5% of economic growth this year due to the drought effects.
