Subsidies for agriculture in Moldova aim to make the sector more competitive. In 2017, these subsidies amounted to 0.5% of the country's GDP. Farmers also get a break on road taxes, and there are reduced rates on basic food items like bread and milk. However, these subsidies don't really help with income distribution. The agricultural sector is crucial for Moldova's economy and social goals, but progress in making subsidies more efficient has been slow.
