On August 20, 2010 the National Federation of Employers in Agriculture and Food Industry, wrote the first page of its Policy Book in Agriculture. The process started in Causeni where the FNPAIA invited member-employers to participate and voice their concerns regarding issues pertinent to agriculture. These agri-entrepreneurs suggested many proposals that are aimed at improving the business environment, enhancing economic opportunities for agri-producers, preserving property rights. The proposals received in Causeni were further discussed with FNPAIA members from Orhei on 24 August and Stefan Voda on 26 August 2010.

Child labour is a problem for the Republic of Moldova and it is also a problem for other countries. In 2000, the ILO estimated that 246 million child workers aged 5 and 17 were involved in child labour, of which 171 million were involved in work that by its nature is hazardous to their safety, physical or mental health, and moral development. Moreover, some 8.4 million children were engaged in unconditional worst forms of child labour, which include forced and bonded labour, the use of children in armed conflict, trafficking in children and commercial sexual exploitation.
No country is immune to child labour. There are 2,5 million working children in the developed economies and another 2,5 million in transition economies. Sources and reports show figures of child labourers even in such countries as the U.S.A. which is the strongest economy of the world.
