Money for milk sold, applications until 14 August: how many Ungheni farmers can actually get it

AIPA has opened the seventh call for direct payments in livestock farming — support per kilogram of milk sold in the second half of 2025, with applications until 14 August. On paper the sum is not small (the regulation's rate: 3 lei per kilogram of cow's milk, 5 lei for sheep's or goat's), but the conditions reserve it for authorised farms. And in Ungheni district, of the 1,738 cows left, only 195 are on farms; the rest, in people's yards, rarely reach the money.

128,000 tonnes on 383 kilometres: what the new EU truck rules mean for Ungheni's roads

Parliament has passed, in first reading, a law replacing today's weight limits — which differ from one road to another — with a single set aligned to EU standards, and it introduces the concept of TEN-T roads. For Ungheni — an agricultural district that hauls some 128,000 tonnes of grain and sunflower a year over 383 kilometres of roads, and through which the European railway to Iași will pass — the stake is who pays for the roads. Importantly, the weight limits take effect only upon EU accession.
