Overview
The agri-food sector in Poland is of great national economic, social and environmental importance. The total share of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in gross value added (GVA) is twice as high as the EU average. Polish agriculture is characterised by diversity in farm structure and development potential. Increasing farms’ profitability, income and productivity are key challenges, as is generational renewal.
Goal and strategy
Poland’s Strategic Plan for 2023-27 will support the sustainable development of farms, the processing sector and the improvement of living and working conditions in rural areas. It will support the protection of water, soil, air and biodiversity and promote the production and use of sustainable energy. It will also focus on small farmers and animal welfare.
