Gowin: work on the industry contract for the agri-food sector begins
13:32
"We have set up a working group that will start working on a sectoral contract for the agri-food sector next week," said PAP Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Development, Labour and Technology Jarosław Gowin.
Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin met on Friday with representatives of the food industry. The talks, which were also attended by the Minister of Agriculture Grzegorz Puda, concerned, among other things, an industry contract. It is related to the document announced by the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development several weeks ago on the new Industrial Policy of Poland.
“Within its framework, I have indicated 17 industry branches which are of the greatest importance for the Polish economy, the greatest development potential. Among these industries was the agri-food sector,” Gowin said. He also added that talks are beginning with each of these 17 industries on precise support instruments “tailored to the needs of a given sector.”
According to Jaroslaw Gowin, in the case of the agri-food sector, cooperation between the Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture is natural. “That is why Minister Grzegorz Puda and I met with a representative group of organizations from the broadly defined food industry sector and set an agenda for work on what is called the industry contract," he pointed out. “We want in this contract both parties to commit to the implementation of the agreed demands,” also added the Deputy Prime Minister.
