There has been clear progress in creating a market-based agriculture and food sector in Moldova. Since 1996, land privatization and farm restructuring have gained a new momentum. Current reform efforts in Moldova have led to the emergence of new, fully privatized farming structures. The results of this study indicate that genuine restructuring and transition to full-fledged private farming have resulted in improved profitability and higher incomes for private farmers than those achieved by traditional collectives. The survey reveals a highly positive impact of private farming initiatives on the well-being of farmer families. On the negative side, the rapid changes in rural areas associated with the dismantling of large collectives have led to disruption of social services. Local governments still have no budgets to take over the responsibility for social infrastructure.
