Under the last project, there were registered Moldovan the first culinary products at national level (others than wine): pricot palinka (Rachiu de caise de Nimoreni) and Calarasi Roses petal jam (Dulceata din petale de trandafir Calarasi) as Regional Products paved the way for the registration of other agricultural manufacturing products in Moldova.
In addition, the bike routes will be expanded, and the establishment of a community kitchen will provide a creative workspace for local producers near the village of Palanca. The local community will be included in the co-creation of tourism-based cycling routes and tastings of local products.
