Government to offer subsidies to organic farmers
21:10
Polish farmers are about to get government subsidies, which will be bigger than was previously announced. They will include compensation for investments that improve the living conditions of animals. For example, a PLN 301 subsidy will be given to farmers who increase the living space of their sows by 20 percent compared to the minimum area required by regulations. This amount may increase to even PLN 612 annually if the animals have access to an open-air run. Cow breeders will also get a subsidy if they provide their animals with access to a pasture for a minimum of 120 days during the growing season or increase the animals’ living space by 20 percent. Here, the subsidies will amount to even PLN 595 per cow per year.
