Installation and Operation of a Grain Mill and an Oil Press in Moldova

A few years ago, in a Moldovan village, there was still a grain mill where farmers and their families could grind grain from various crops.
Unfortunately, that mill is no longer in operation and has not been replaced, forcing farmers to make long and tedious trips to find a mill that is often very far away.

Why Moldova?

  • The country's economic, political and health situation
  • Ukraine's proximity and the war
  • Strong family ties and friendships
  • Knowledge of the country and its needs

Objectives:

  • recreate a local economy
  • Enabling farmers to process grain and oilseeds locally,
  • ecology, sustainability
  • Maintaining a rural economy and a rural population

Project cost:

  • Approximately CHF 200,000 (land, construction of a hangar, and a pond).

Results:
