The Ministry of Agriculture sent only three officials to an exhibition in China, after the initial delegation of six was deemed unjustified.

Although the Government promised to limit expenses for foreign trips, the Ministry of Agriculture initially proposed sending a delegation of six people to an exhibition in China. After the intervention of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, the number was reduced to three officials, without technical staff. The total expenses amounted to approximately 30,700 lei, and the Chinese organizers covered part of the costs. The Ministry was criticized for the lack of transparency in communicating financial details.
