A number of winemakers of Moldova left to the United States together with Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Vasile Bumacov to ask the U.S. authorities to support the Moldovan farmers who sustained losses as a result of the ban imposed by Russia on the import of fruit, vegetables and meat from Moldova, IPN reports.

According to a communiqué of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, a number of companies from Moldova will be able to come into contact with U.S. distributors in their attempt to sell their wines on the American market.
