The main function of Lithuanian pilot, training and testing farms (hereinafter – PTT farms) is to enable the agricultural education and training institutions to carry out precision experiments with plants and animals in natural and artificial environmental conditions, provide a framework for theoretical and applied research, to develop innovation and to promote the latest scientific achievements in agriculture. PTT farms have bases for research and new technologies application and implementation. Their task is to promote scientific knowledge, using a variety of media: to organize conferences, seminars, workshops, field days, to participate in events, presenting the innovations in agriculture. Unfortunately not all of these PTT farms fulfil the expectations, associated with their destination. Due to different circumstances, many of them gives priority to economic activity – the innovative agricultural production, but their results are different. PTT farms scientific and experimental development research areas are too narrow or have lost their relevance. Carried out dissemination of research results is unsystematic, spontaneous and not guaranteed feedback with the beneficiaries of these results. This raises the need to evaluate Lithuania PTT farms activity data, to reveal specifics of their activities, priorities and determine the reasons of these weaknesses. The aim of this article is to provide recommendations for PTT farm business development. During the investigation there have been analyzed Lithuanian’s PTT farms documents and conducted expert interviews with their managers. On the basis of carried out analysis and evaluation, there were presented business development recommendations for PTT farms.

This article reflects some aspects of the process of qualitative transformation of the country's production capacity based on large-scale introduction and dissemination of innovations because they are essential for a sustainable growth and rising economic development. The dynamism and the level of development of the innovative sphere can provide an intensive type of economic growth at the same time providing a knowledge-based economic desolation. Equitable participation in global competition for innovation and cooperation with states that already have rich experience in innovation requires from the Republic of Moldova a rapid change of the technological order as well as the acceptance of a course based on economic value added generated from the capital of innovation-research and knowledge. In these circumstances the transition of the national economy to innovational type makes a non-linear economic growth with rhythms of accelerated development.

The signing of the free trade agreement with the EU requires the inclusion of Moldova in the European Economic Area, opening tremendous opportunities for our country regarding the access to goods and services offered on the European market and the development and promotion of implemented structural reforms to increase the competitiveness of products and the national economy. In the Moldovan economy, competitiveness should be considered at macro and micro level. Thus most competitive companies and products allow local markets to withstand the additional competitive pressures from EU producers. Also Moldovan companies must find new markets for domestic producers or to expand to the new one in the EU, exploiting the competitive advantages of the country. This agreement will open new economic opportunities for local businesses, thus increasing their income and boosting state efforts to further diversify reforms.

Since the study programme has been running for a year now, a decision to evaluate its quality and to identify students' opinions about the significance of the tasks for the heads of the Research and Development Divisions, as laid out in the International Standard Classification of Occupations, as well as about the aims and the intended learning outcomes of the study programme, was taken. The objective of the survey was to evaluate the need for the studies of innovation management and the quality of their implementation, as well as to identify the directions of the innovation manager training improvement. To justify the need for managers trained in the Innovation Management and Technologies study programme, as well as their competences, a pilot survey was carried out. To evaluate the quality of the studies, quantitative research was conducted by means of a structurised written survey. The outcomes of the research proved that the study programme met the main needs of the students, and its aims and the intended learning outcomes were important and relevant for the training of innovation managers. The quality of the study programme can, and is to, be improved by active use of the case study method, by integrating the staff of innovation companies into the curriculum of the study programme, by changing the ratio between the time allotted for theoretical and practical studies, and by designing specific methodical guidelines for the writing of the Master’s final thesis in the present study programme.

My analysis highlights the fact that farmers were able to adapt to the regulations and sell their grain for intervention. This is proven by the fact that for the intervention buying as of the offerers, 60% of the farmers made a bid for selling their produce. Nevertheless, it can be recommended to lay great emphasis on informing the market participants to make them aware of the changes in time.
