Newest report Bank Pekao named ‘Geopolitics on a plate. Food manufacture in fresh economical realities" is simply a clear alarm signal. According to specialists, speaking with Mercosur countries is simply a vital threat to Polish farmers and processors. The Government of Tusk fakes his opposition, while in fact he covers his hands. The entry into force of the agreement will hit the agrarian electorate, and so opponents of the political governing coalition.
The deal with Mercosur is death for Polish agriculture. The Polish food manufacture developed well until 2022. Despite problems with the flood of method grain and another dubious quality of Ukrainian products, inactive in 2024, the value of Polish exports of agricultural produce increased by 4.4%, or 3 times the EU average.
Unfortunately, the issue of drawing grain from Ukraine from the writing will be a game of what will happen to the European marketplace after the Mercosur agreement. After signing an agreement with South American countries, the EU marketplace will be flooded with inexpensive and non-compliant beef, poultry, soya, sugar and maize from Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Poland, as 1 of the largest food producers in Europe, is on the front line.
RCost differences are enormous. Mercosur does not respect the environmental or qualitative standards that apply to farmers in the EU. As a result, South American producers can offer dumped prices with which Poles will not be able to compete, while maintaining the current tightening of production quality.
There is besides a difference in the area. all year in South America, a immense area of the Amazon forest is cut to prepare the land for cultivation. The farmers there number their land not in tens of hectares, but in hundreds of thousands of hectares.
The European Union is already importing food from Mercosur for EUR 24.1 billion, and it is exporting there for only 3.3 billion. The balance is clearly unfavourable. If the deal comes into force, the deficit will only get worse. The Polish agri-food manufacture may lose billions and hundreds of thousands of household farms will be forced to close down.
Why does the EU want to introduce specified an agreement? In exchange for agricultural crops, South America will open up a marketplace for German technology, including the automotive industry. In addition, in Mercosur countries there are large deposits of natural resources for fresh technologies, specified as lit. Mercosur will facilitate their acquisition and transport to Europe, of course for the German industry.
The Polish government should respond and request that this harmful agreement be vetoed before it is besides late. Consent to it is to sign a conviction for Polish agriculture. Unfortunately, everything indicates that Tusk, although officially opposed, actually supports these solutions, due to the fact that on the 1 hand they are useful to his beloved Germany; on the another hand, they will hit the Polish village, namely the bastion of conservatism and the electorate of his political opponents.
