Assessing the Efficiency and Transparency of the Fund for Subsidising Agricultural Producers
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
This study examines the fund for subsidising agricultural producers, which has recently become one of the most important instruments for developing Moldova's agricultural sector. It analyses how the package of financed measures is formed, how resources are allocated and how payments are made.
The findings show that the subsidy measures applied during the period analysed were neither stable nor predictable. There were no consistent arguments for introducing, changing or removing financed measures, and the measures do not reflect an explicit and consistent agricultural market policy.
For most measures, the subsidy objectives were not defined clearly enough, monitored or subsequently evaluated for their impact. Another problem is the lack of a distinct approach to payments that reimburse current expenditure and those that support investment. The two types need to be clearly differentiated in terms of justification, design and the way they are awarded.
