The countries of the European Union have decided to pay €100 million to farmers in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria, whose economies have been affected by the surplus of exports of agricultural products from Ukraine.
Polish farmers will receive €40 million from this amount. Now the Polish authorities will be able to increase aid to farmers by 200%, allocating funds from their own budget.
After the start of a full-scale war, the European Union canceled all tariffs and quotas for the transit of Ukrainian grain. Farmers from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Slovakia were reported to have lost €417 million due to the influx of Ukrainian grain into their markets.
