The European Commission announced on Tuesday 23 May that it had authorised a Polish aid scheme worth around €1 billion (PLN 4.7 billion) to preserve the liquidity of agricultural producers who are in difficulty as a result of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine.
Poland will provide direct subsidies of up to €250,000 per beneficiary until 31 December 2023 to farmers facing rising input costs such as mineral fertilisers and affected by instability in agricultural markets.
