Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Ukraine to the north, east, and south, and Romania to the west. Its geography is largely composed of rolling hills, fertile plains, and river valleys, which together form a landscape well-suited for agriculture. The country lies between the Prut and Dniester (Nistru) rivers, both of which play a significant role in shaping its geography and supporting local economies.

The central part of Moldova features the Codri Hills, a region of gentle elevations and dense forests. These hills reach modest heights, with the highest point, Balanesti Hill, rising to only about 430 meters (1,411 feet) above sea level. Despite the relatively low elevation, the varied terrain creates scenic landscapes and microclimates favorable for farming, especially vineyards and orchards.

The Dniester River, running along the eastern border, is Moldova's most important waterway, providing irrigation and drinking water and supporting diverse ecosystems. The Prut River marks much of the border with Romania and is also significant for agriculture and local biodiversity.

Moldova has a moderate continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters. The combination of fertile soil and favorable weather conditions makes agriculture a cornerstone of the Moldovan economy. Moldova’s geography, while not mountainous or coastal, contributes to its rich agricultural heritage and regional identity.
