In addition, the government is asking for the approval of the European Commission in order to increase the subsidies for diesel oil per liter to producers by an additional 0.54 zlotys (44.3 forints).
This is how they support local farmers
Farmers with less than 300 hectares of farmland who sell wheat between April 15 and June 15 will receive a subsidy of 1,400 zlotys (115,000 HUF) per ton. Subsidies are also paid for other cereals and the reduced price of fertilizer is maintained. The aim of the subsidy provided after the grain sold is to enable farmers to empty their warehouses before the summer harvest. The support package worth a total of approximately 10 billion zlotys (821 billion forints) is covered by the Polish state budget.
The support package was announced last Saturday by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the president of the Law and Justice party leading the Polish government coalition
Warsaw temporarily banned the import of agricultural products from Ukraine that day. The import ban is still valid, but as of Friday, according to the Polish-Ukrainian agreement signed on Tuesday, the transit of Ukrainian agricultural products became possible again. However, among others, shipments to Polish Baltic Sea ports will be admitted from Ukraine under stricter conditions than before. Cargoes are sealed and electronically tracked.
