Chisinau, 8 May /MOLDPRES/ - The Vine and Wine Register (RVV) has switched to the management of the National Office for Vine and Wine (ONVV). The Register was worked out on the period 2014-2019 and the project’s value amounts to one million dollars.
The Vine and Wine Register – www.rvv.gov.md - contains detailed information about all producers of grapes and wine from Moldova. This database with comprehensive information is necessary for the elaboration of policies of sustainable development and for the efficient management of the vine-growing and wine-making sector.
Thus, www.rvv.gov.md will provide information about statistics in the vine-growing and wine-making sector and relevant details about the vine and wine units and the vine plantations registered, depending on the destination, variety, area and settlement. The public character of the information will allow economic agents take knowledge of the real situation about the vine areas, which will help them efficiently plan the production potential.
The transmission of RVV to the management of ONVV was marked by an event held at a winery from Moldova on 7 May. At the action, the state secretary of the Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment Ministry, Vasile Luca, said that the first stage of RVV’s implementation had ended and now there was a fully functional information system, which contains important details for the vine-growing and wine-making sector.
ONVV director Gheorghe Arpentin noted that the Register represented the only official source of information about the wine units, vine plots of lands with an area bigger than 0.15 hectares and the record of vine and wine products.
The elaboration of the Vine and Wine Register of Moldova was backed by the Czech Development Agency and implemented by the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture from the Czech Republic.
The registration of vine-growers and wine-makers in RVV is compulsory, except for the farmers who use grapes only for their own consumption. Those who do not want to register in the Vine and Wine Register ran the risk of being imposed administrative sanctions, ban on getting any type of subsidies on behalf of the state and even prohibition to sell grapes meant for making wines.
At present, 41,000 hectares of vine, vine plots of lands of goods production with varieties of wine and table grapes, as well as 230 vine and wine units are recorded in the Vine and Wine Register.
