Agricultural chambers to be created in Moldova to provide more support to farmers

Chisinau, March 7. /MOLDPRES/- Agricultural chambers will be created in the Republic of Moldova - an institutional system that will contribute to the achievement of the development priorities of the agricultural sector and rural environment.
