THE IMPACT OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE AGRI-FOOD EXPORT IN THE REPUBIC OF MOLDOVA

The investment represents a sequence of actions due to which certain available, redundant or attracted resources are transformed into concrete goods in order to obtain future effects in form of advantages, but mainly in the form of profit. Investment Management acts as a support for the sustainable development of Moldova’s economy. Over the years, the Republic of Moldova was considered as a major supplier of agri-food products. Unfortunately, intensive exploitation of agricultural lands, transition process, negative impact of the global financial crisis and embargoes imposed by Russia drastically reduced the agri-food products exports. Being a country with small economy and scarce reserves for growth and in order to ensure a high development level, Moldova should focus on the export activity. Therefore, as the export represents an economic effect, it records a better increase through the use of investments. It is well known that in order to increase production efficiency, to attract new technologies and to produce value-added goods, local companies have to orient themselves to foreign markets. At present, the exports are mainly focused on the investment opportunities.
