In the Cimișlia district, the village of Sagaidac is set to host an investment initiative led by Roses Kingdom Company. Developed as a partnership between the Netherlands, Belgium and the Republic of Moldova, the project aims to cultivate premium-quality roses.
The first stage involves an investment of €1.2 million, which includes the installation of modern greenhouses, advanced irrigation and climate-control systems, and packaging facilities. This initial phase is expected to generate at least 20 full-time jobs for the local community. Development plans foresee the project's expansion to €10 million and a workforce of around 100 employees, with the ambition of transforming the region into a hub for floriculture, wellness, and professional training.
Economic ties between the Republic of Moldova and the Netherlands have strengthened steadily in recent years, and this investment stands as an example of trilateral cooperation. The Netherlands plays a pivotal role as a gateway for European and global investments in the region, ranking fourth among Moldova's foreign direct investors, with an FDI stock of about USD 488.8 million and an annual growth rate of 18.4 percent. Many international investments reach Moldova through Dutch financial and logistics hubs, reinforcing the strategic value 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," said Natalia Bejan, Director of Invest Moldova Agency.

The initiative seeks to drive knowledge transfer, raise production standards, and support exports to EMEA markets (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), further enhancing 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 favorable 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 organizing 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," saud M. Bashar Almajzoub, Founder, Roses Kingdom.
This initiative illustrates how foreign direct investments can transform local communities, bringing not only capital and employment but also international expertise and opportunities for professional training. With a planned expansion to €10 million, the project lays the foundation for a competitive Moldovan presence in the international flower market.
