Entrepreneurs from Moldova learn from the Romanian experience in remittance investment

Within the IFAD Project, “Support the innovative use of remittance in productive rural investment”, during 24-27 April 2012, 15 entrepreneurs selected in this stage of the project made a visit of good practice transfer to Iasi, Romania.                        

This was the last of the three visits planned for the entrepreneurs from Moldova, who have benefited from the experience in remittance investment of 20 successful business managers from Romania.        

On this occasion, the entrepreneurs went to see:  

• Greenhouse vegetable production in Blagesti Commune, Iasi County  
• Agricultural works and products and bakery products in Pascani, Iasi
• The ViniCom wine cellars (the Copou wine cellars) in Iasi.

The Project ”Support the innovative use of remittance in productive rural investment” aims to develop  entrepreneurship and management capacities of returned migrants and remittance beneficiaries, in order to increase remittance investments.                  

It is financially supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and is implemented in the Republic of Moldova by Business Consulting Institute, in partnership with the Foundation for Economical Development and European Integration Iasi.
