Moldovan Railways to raise freight tariffs by 15% from 1 November

15% — that is how much Moldovan Railways (CFM) will raise its freight tariffs from 1 November 2026.

The increase applies to domestic routes as well as imports, exports and transit. CFM attributes the decision to higher fuel prices. The new tariffs were presented on 9 October at a meeting between the company management and businesses.

CFM says grain shipments remain a priority and that all companies will be treated equally, with no preferential treatment for selected clients. The rise comes at a time when logistics already weighs heavily on the costs of farmers and exporters.

What it means for you

• If you ship goods by rail, recalculate costs for deliveries after 1 November.
• Review contracts where delivery is included in the price — adjustments may be needed.
• Grain exporters may want to schedule part of their shipments before the new tariffs apply.
