Moldova has engaged in several high-profile efforts to promote its national agricultural products and gastronomic traditions through record-breaking events.

During National Wine Day, 493 participants formed a human grapevine in the Great National Assembly Square, earning a Guinness World Record. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan defended the costs of the event, describing the specialized attire used for the formation as an ‘investment’ to promote Moldovan wines globally and attract tourists.

Following this, the Moldagrotech and Farmer exhibitions featured a new national record for the largest cheese in Moldova. Produced by a family from Cahul using approximately 150 liters of sheep milk, the 30.7-kilogram cheese was displayed using an agricultural drone to highlight local producers and traditional products.
