Avicola Floreni on the threshold of the European market
Octavian Calmîc, Vice-Minister of Economy, and Gheorghe Gaberi, Director General of the National Agency for Food Safety, accompanied by representatives of the press, visited Floreni SRL. Floreni SRL (LTD) is the largest Moldovan producer of chicken meat and it occupies 60% of the market. Officials got acquainted with the production process by visiting the incubator, feed milling plant, poultry houses and the slaughterhouse.
The company joining the MoSEFF national financing program made it possible to modernize all departments of the company in order to meet all requirements and conditions for exporting its products to the European market. At the end of the visit, Gheorghe Gaberi, Director General of the National Agency for Food Safety, mentioned during the press briefing that the next items in the export list would be chicken meat and eggs.
In the near future, a meeting of the largest Moldovan chicken meat producers will be organized in order to prepare the companies for the visit of representatives from Brussels. The requirements of the European market for the production of chicken meat were set for Moldovan producers in 2013. During this period, the companies have managed to take measures for improving the production process. Floreni SRL has become a leader in this domain.
The Director General of the National Agency for Food Safety has noted that the responsibility for the quality and safety of food products plays an important role for the producers on their way to the European market. To increase the market potential, a close cooperation between economic operators seeking to export products, external partners and government agencies is necessary.
Octavian Calmîc, Vice-Minister of Economy, has underlined that the National Agency for Food Safety made great progress in developing the infrastructure of laboratories and in training specialists, which would help shorten the period of obtaining trading rights on the European market.
