The village of Sagaidac in Cimișlia district is set to benefit from a major investment initiative led by Roses Kingdom Company. Developed as a partnership between the Netherlands, Belgium and the Republic of Moldova, the project aims to establish premium-quality rose cultivation in the region.
The first phase of the initiative involves an investment of €1.2 million, covering the installation of modern greenhouses, advanced irrigation and climate-control systems, as well as packaging facilities. This initial stage is expected to create at least 20 full-time jobs for the local community. Future plans envision the project expanding to €10 million with a workforce of approximately 100 employees, with the goal of transforming the area into a hub for floriculture, wellness and professional training.
Economic relations between the Republic of Moldova and the Netherlands have grown steadily in recent years, and this investment stands as a strong example of trilateral cooperation. The Netherlands serves as a key gateway for European and global investments in the region, ranking fourth among Moldova’s foreign direct investors, with an FDI stock of around USD 488.8 million and an annual growth rate of 18.4 percent. Many international investments reach Moldova via Dutch financial and logistics hubs, reinforcing the strategic importance of this partnership for the country’s economic development.
“This investment represents an important step toward diversifying the economy of the Republic of Moldova and harnessing its agricultural potential in a high value-added sector. It is not a traditional investment, but one that combines two of the country’s key assets – fertile soil and openness to diverse investments – contributing to regional development and strengthening the Republic of Moldova’s position as a safe and attractive destination for international investors,”
— Natalia Bejan, Director of Invest Moldova Agency
The initiative aims to promote knowledge transfer, improve production standards and support exports to EMEA markets (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), further strengthening the Republic of Moldova’s reputation as a supplier of high-quality floricultural products.
“The Republic of Moldova offers us proximity in accessing foreign markets and a favourable climate for growing roses and other flowers, essential factors that allowed us to launch this project with confidence, and the support provided by the Invest Moldova Agency was important in the process of starting the investment project. At the same time, we want to thank the Embassies of Belgium and the Netherlands in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the Romanian-Belgian-Luxembourg-Moldova Chamber of Commerce for organising the BeNeLux forum and for the partnership formed as a result of it – an important step in the development of the entire flower growing sector and the positioning of the Republic of Moldova internationally in this field.”
— M. Bashar Almajzoub, Founder, Roses Kingdom
This initiative demonstrates how foreign direct investment can transform local communities, delivering not only capital and employment but also international expertise and opportunities for professional training. With plans to expand to €10 million, the project establishes the foundations for a competitive Moldovan presence in the international flower market.
Invest Moldova continues to play a pivotal role in attracting and facilitating strategic investments, linking international investors with local opportunities and reinforcing its commitment to turning Moldova’s potential into success stories with regional and global impact.
