In the article, the author studies the issue of migration from the Republic of Moldova to the Russian Federation. Migration from Moldova to the Russian Federation decreased significantly in 2014, when the exchange rate of the MDL to the RUB decreased and the money earned in translation into MDL ceased to justify their efforts, which led to the fact that many citizens were forced to go to work in Europe. The largest number of Moldovan migrants in Russia work in such cities as Moscow, the Moscow Region, the Khanty- Mansi Autonomous Okrug and the Tyumen Region. This is because it is easier for Moldovans to find a job in these regions, and many of their relatives left for these regions and settled there after the collapse of the USSR. The migration of the population in Russia is irrevocable, since for migrants Russia becomes their homeland, they integrate and stay there to live.

The research explores the current evolution and transformation of the global agricultural market, as well as the appropriate adjustment capacity of the Republic of Moldova's agricultural exports. The article represents a quantitative and qualitative research, which capitalizes the specialized literature and analyses international trade data. The findings showed the agricultural trade of the countries of the world currently registers a fluctuating but markedly increasing trend, becoming truly global as an increasing part of it takes place in global agricultural and food processing value chains. We revealed the characteristics of the global agricultural market, the challenges it faces, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. We have carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the recent evolution of international grain prices, the evolution of Moldovan agricultural exports, addressing the current opportunities for them, arguing that the economy of the Republic of Moldova is highly dependent on trade in agricultural plant products.
