Poland to back Moldova in developing experience of turning to account agro-zootechnical waste

Chisinau, 6 July /MOLDPRES/ - The leadership of the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry (MAIA), along with representatives of competent associations, on 5 July held discussions with a group of experts from Poland on Moldova’s potential in the production of biogas and ecological fertilizers.   

The sides analyzed the benefits which can be brought to the energy, economic, agro-food and environment sectors. In this respect, the interlocutors discussed the Polish experience as to the processing of agricultural waste and European Union’s priorities for the next period as regards the stimulation of renewable sources of energy regionally.  

„The agro-zoo-technical sector generates significant quantities of organic waste. It could be used in the energy sector, for the production of bio-fuel. At the same time, the fermented residue can be used as organic fertilizers for soil, due to the increased content of nutrients. Thus, the productivity and quality of the agricultural production can be improved. Subsequently, through the enforcement of new technologies of growing plants, we might get qualitative fodder for animals. Through the way of observation and comparison, our farmers might better perceive the role of organic fertilizers for the agricultural productivity,’’ Agriculture Minister Viorel Gherciu said.   

In the end, the sides agreed on identifying experimental plots of land, in order to carry out researches, in field conditions, to establish the impact of the organic fertilizers in agricultural exploitations from Moldova.
