Gov't set to intervene again on agriculture market - but does it really hel p?

The government today will consider a proposal for increasing its interventi on on the agricultural market. The plan assumes increasing intervention pri ces for wheat and rye and increasing direct subsidies for grain. According to analysts, current government actions are ineffective and only contribute to further unbalancing the agricultural market. Michal Kisiel from the Agri culture Economics Institute said, "Our system of intervention allows for ab out 3% of farms to be profitable, while other farms suffer as intervention and subsidies force market prices down".
