THE WINE SECTOR IN MOLDOVA UNDER THE LENS OF PERFORMANCE AND RESILIENCE
Abstract
The wine sector is a cornerstone of Moldova’s economy, cultural identity, and
international profile, yet it faces ongoing structural and external challenges. This article examines its performance and resilience in the context of European integration. The study combines a review of literature with an analysis of indicators reflecting production, trade orientation, and competitiveness. Emphasis is placed on resilience factors such as adaptation to climate change, compliance with European standards, and innovation in market positioning. The findings indicate that while the sector has improved its performance and competitiveness, long-term resilience depends on sustainable practices, strategic investment, and closer alignment with European market requirements. By viewing the sector through the dual lens of performance and resilience, the paper provides insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders supporting Moldova’s European path.
