The grain crisis may not be resolved

The chance of clearing the grain stored in warehouses from Poland before the harvest is quite doubtful, according to Dr. Jerzy Plewa, an expert from the Team Europe network. As he pointed out, the government is trying to alleviate the crisis with subsidies, but clearing the stockpiled reserves requires primarily commercial contracts, which are currently lacking. The prices of grains on the EU market are also questionable. 

"I wish those responsible for this problem success in solving it for the benefit of Polish farmers. However, I consider what has been done so far in this regard to be insufficient," the expert said.

In his opinion, the amount of stored grain is a huge problem, exporting these reserves will be a challenge.

"First of all, it is not entirely clear how much grain is stockpiled, as some say 3-4 million tonnes, while others say even 5 million tonnes. Therefore, the first step would be to determine the quantity, and then evaluate the capacity of Polish ports. International contracts are also needed, but they cannot be arranged since buyers simply look at the price and quality," Dr. Jerzy Plewa added.
