INCREASING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA, BY MANAGING NATURAL VULNERABILITY

The main objective of the research is to analyze and highlight the negative effects of the natural vulnerabilities on the agricultural productivity and to offer tangible proposal for diminishing their effect. For this purpose the key natural hazards and their impact on the agricultural productivity have been considered. As result of this research had been established that Republic of Moldova is vulnerable to a range of natural trends and hazards including erosion, landslides, drought, rain storms, hail, frost, flooding that impact on agricultural producer's revenue. Moldova's annual hazard damage averages 5-15% of national GDP. In this context, the negative effects of the climatic changes, particularly in the last years, have to be taken in consideration by the State agricultural policy for risks diminishing and productivity increasing in agriculture.
