EU and UNIDO launch capacity-building programme for SMEs and farmers in Moldova
The European Union and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) have announced the launch of a second capacity building and training cycle for farms and food businesses.
The EU-UNIDO initiative ‘Standards Compliance, Capacity Building and Implementation Programme for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), food business operators (FBOs) and Farmers’ supports the development of the agri-food sector by offering local economic actors opportunities to improve their processes and product quality, focusing on food safety, animal welfare, and environmental protection.
The programme targets farmers and primary producers, and meat and dairy processors, who are at any stage of business development (early-stage, mid-level, or advanced), and who have already developed a product, tested it on the market, and are now looking to grow their business and enter the EU market.
Participants will benefit from theoretical and on-the-job practical training, individualised support, group coaching and training sessions, study visits to Europe and participation in international trade fairs for top-performing business entities.
The training will consist of 11 modules, with a special emphasis on quality and safety standards in the dairy and meat industries.
Interested companies are invited to complete the registration form by 30 September. The programme will be held from October – December 2025.
Between May and August of this year, over 50 participants from 30 local companies successfully completed the first stage of the programme, covering the first seven training modules focused on food quality and safety.
