Moldova's honey to gain access to Chinese market: Protocol on export requirements signed
Bee honey produced in the Republic of Moldova will gain access to the Chinese market, one of the largest consumer markets in the world. This will be possible following the signing of the Protocol on the requirements to the export of bee honey from the Republic of Moldova to China.
The document was signed by the General Administration of Customs of China and the National Food Safety Agency (ANSA) of the Republic of Moldova.
“Another Moldovan product is opening its way to China. This is another step toward diversifying export markets and promoting domestic products abroad,” the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in the People’s Republic of China said.
ANSA emphasized that the signing of the protocol opens up new commercial prospects for local beekeepers and processors, contributing to the diversification of markets, the harnessing of the beekeeping sector’s potential, and the international promotion of Moldovan honey.
In the next stage, ANSA will continue to support economic operators in meeting export requirements, in cooperation with the Chinese authorities and national institutions responsible for promoting foreign trade.
Moldovan honey is increasingly reaching foreign markets. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry show that 4,518 tons of honey were exported in 2025, including 4,140 tons to the European Union, 9% more than in 2024. The total value of honey exports amounted to 13.566 million US dollars, 27% more than in 2024. Overall, the Republic of Moldova has approximately 265,000 bee colonies, and around 5,000 tons of honey were produced in 2025.
