When a large-town husaria burns its wings in the fire of patriotism, galloping in thought above the smoke-smoking sky of the fighting Ukraine, and its armed surmies play, playing its gold surmies for victory, at will; so the Polish farmer fell this ungrateful function of the local agent Putin, to whom the ears of the field for longing, for misery...
Ukraine is simply a very crucial item in the Polish budget, as 2 percent of Polish GDP, or PLN 50 billion, has already been allocated to a brother neighbour. Will the decline of Polish agricultural production be at any extraordinary cost, specified as exceeding the content of the Polish portfolio?
Ukraine is able to pour grain all over Europe, so Polish agriculture has no chance in economical competition with Ukraine. The dusk of the Polish village, composed mostly of tiny and medium-sized multigenerational farms, has been observed for many years. So, Ukraine will only make this process much faster. Subsidies from the EU and from government funds of this progressive degeneration will not stop. Any incentives to make production, improve the quality of land, investments will disappear. Destroying the agrarian livelihood, local structure and trade, will send farmers to the city in search of work. It is not only farmers who grow grain that gotta consider this imagination of the future in their plans. Already now, Polish orchardists think with horror that no 1 will buy fruit from them, due to the fact that intermediaries and traders supplied Polish cold stores with Ukrainian fruits for at least 2 years. Polish poultry farmers and producers of chicken eggs have a akin problem, knowing very well about the immense quantities of chickens and eggs imported from Ukraine by the Polish border. The same applies to Polish honey, milk, oil production.
In the fervor of the abrupt Russian-Ukrainian war, the problem related to the entry of Ukraine into the Union, and above all the possible of flooding Ukrainian products of local markets has been treated as a insignificant substance to date, or completely overlooked. After all, what is already happening on the Polish marketplace gives only a delicate foretaste of what will happen later erstwhile Ukraine becomes a full associate of the EU. And then, after winning the war, erstwhile Ukraine is no longer dependent on Polish aid, it will become much little inclined to show gratitude. To surprise, already now, without being a full member, Ukraine raises its voice and demands its EU rights, gives a speech to negotiations, and talks not with the Polish sister but straight with European officials.
Volodymyr Zelensky, as the Ukrainian fact said,* discussed the situation related to the ban on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products to certain EU countries straight with president Charles Michel of the European Council. Zelensky considered all restrictions on free trade to be artificial and illegal, complained about the non-compliance of any EU members with EU rights. And the fact that today's desire to extend duty-free exports from Ukraine to the EU for the next year is not enough, as Poland, Zeleneski, too, advocated: "The best solution would be to proceed duty-free trade for unlimited time. This decision is beneficial for Ukraine and respective neighbouring EU associate States, which already have crucial competitive advantages due to the growth of Ukrainian exports and their population is given access to low-cost and high-quality Ukrainian products" – Zelensky said. Of course, this should be corrected: It is actual that this is the best solution to the problem, but only for Ukraine. Open borders let for nothing unlimited flooding of Ukrainian products, which are either mediocre quality or unfit for consumption. These products are bought cheaply by traders and Polish consumers do not yet know the economical and wellness implications of the collapse of the Ukrainian production market. The only consequence that can be predicted now with accurate precision is the coming decline of Polish agriculture.
Polish farmers are in a very hard position, due to the fact that Ukrainian agribusiness oligarchs, supported by a powerful lobby and profit-seeking traders, have moral precedence in the eyes of the world. They would besides be happy to take on the function of the guardians of the regulation of law in the Union and defenders of specified favourable free trade rules for them. There are besides very strong monetary assets hidden under the mask of the war victim.
The unique taste leaves in the reader the form in which it is written about protesting Polish farmers in Ukrainian media. A individual who does not know Polish realities would think that defending himself against bankruptcy Polish village is the habitat of Putin agents. Presumably, the most intensive media centres of Ukrainian propaganda in Poland participated in the creation of this false image. All the more sad that these Polish media are devoted to the remainder of government policy.
