Moldova is a landlocked country located in eastern Europe, with an area of about 33800 square kilometers and a population of about 3.5 million. Moldova's industrial base is weak, and its national economy mainly depends on agriculture.
Moldova is a traditional agricultural country, and its natural environment is suitable for agricultural development. The terrain of Moldova is dominated by plains, and 80% of the land is high-yield black soil. The fertility of this kind of soil is high, but its distribution is small. Black soil can only be formed under specific natural conditions. From a worldwide perspective, the North American Great Plain, the Northeast Plain of China, and the Ukrainian Plain of Eastern Europe are all the major black soil distribution areas in the world.
The soil of Moldova is similar to that of the Northeast Plain of China, with unique agricultural conditions. As early as the Soviet Union, Moldova was an agricultural base. Moldova is an exporter of agricultural products, which widely grows wheat, barley, corn, soybeans and other crops.
Agricultural products are bulk goods, which are mainly transported by ships and are highly dependent on ports. However, Moldova is a landlocked country, whose territory is surrounded by Ukraine and Romania. Although it is only two kilometers away from the Black Sea, it is not close to the Black Sea.
It can be seen that the situation in Moldova is very similar to that in the Tumen River region of China, both of which are very close to the sea, and even can see the sea. Jilin Province of China is known as the inland province closest to the sea. Standing on the tower of Hunchun, Jilin, looking at the Three Kingdoms scenic spot, you can see the Sea of Japan, but you can't get out of the sea. However, Moldova has now achieved freedom of navigation and is not restricted by Ukraine and Romania. Therefore, we can refer to Moldova's sea going plan. So what did Moldova do?
First, the formation of Moldova's landlocked country. Moldova did not have a coastline in history, which is similar to Jilin Province. During the Qing Dynasty, Jilin had a very long coastline. Moldova, named Pisarabia in history, has a coastline along the coast of the Black Sea.
Moldovans and Romanians are of the same language and descent from Dacia. In history, the distribution area of Dacia people formed three principalities, namely, Pisarabia, Transylvania and Valachia. Today's Romania, mainly Transylvania and Valachia, Moldova and parts of Odessa State in Ukraine, historically belongs to Pisarabia.
In the 15th century, the Dachian distribution area became a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. After the rise of the tsarist Russia, it continued to expand to the Black Sea region, and a long-term war broke out with the Ottoman Empire. In 1812, the Tsarist Russia defeated the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Ottoman Empire to sign the Bucharest Peace Treaty, and Pisarabia was incorporated into the territory of the Tsarist Russia, becoming the province of Pisarabia of the Tsarist Russia.
After the First World War, Tsarist Russia perished, and Pisarabia and Romania merged. However, during World War II, the Soviet Union forced Romania to cede Pisarabia in order to build a buffer zone to defend Germany. In order to control Pisarabia more firmly, the Soviet Union assigned the coastal area of Pisarabia to Ukraine, and the inland area of Pisarabia established the Moldavian Soviet Republic, which is a member republic of the Soviet Union. In 1991, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and the original coastal area of Pisarabia became part of Odessa State of Ukraine, while Moldova became a landlocked country.
Second, Moldova's sea going program. In the Soviet era, Moldova could go to sea through the nearest port in Ukraine. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, each of the participating countries became independent. If Moldova continues to use Ukrainian ports, it needs to pay various fees. Moldova itself mainly exports agricultural products. If it borrows ports to sea, it needs to pay more costs to reduce the competitiveness of goods in the international market.
Therefore, Moldova has adopted the method of building river ports. Although Moldova has no coastline, there is a river flowing into the Black Sea. This river is the Danube River, which originates in southern Germany and flows through 10 countries, including Austria, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. It is a famous international river in Europe.
Moldova has built the port of Jujulesti along the Danube River, which is about 133 kilometers away from the estuary of the Danube River. Through this port, Moldovan goods can enter the Black Sea directly. Moldova has continuously increased its investment in Zhujuleshti Port, built various storage warehouses, loading and unloading docks, and turned Zhujuleshti Port into a window for foreign exchanges.
China's Tumen River area is similar to Moldova in terms of sea access. The Tumen River flows through several counties and cities in China and into the Sea of Japan through the border between Russia and North Korea. Therefore, we can refer to Moldova's sea going plan to build a large river port on the Tumen River and enter the Sea of Japan with the help of the Tumen River. However, the Russian Korean railway bridge is too low. If the bridge can be raised and the river channel dug deep, Moldova is a good reference plan.
