| Slovak farms are facing a new reality: foreign competition and cuts in EU subsidies threaten production |

| Beautiful harvest wreaths as a punctuation mark at the end of the harvest. A harvest rich in yield, yet offering no certainty for the future. This was the impression left by the 28th harvest festival in the Levice District, the largest in Slovakia. Granaries are full of wheat, barley, rapeseed, and even the rarely grown peas. However, farmers are also filled with concerns about future developments.No wonder. Grain from the new harvest is being sold at low prices. That is not news. And perhaps it is not even news that certain bakeries in eastern Slovakia are baking rolls from Ukrainian flour. However, another report resonates strongly. Malt, the number one Slovak export commodity in the food industry, also has competition from beyond the eastern border.The information provided by Emil Macho, Vice-Chairman of the Slovak Chamber of Agriculture and Food, to farmers from the Levice district at the harvest festival in Nový Tekov illustrates the reality in the agricultural commodity markets. At home or in Europe, there is suddenly such a supply that farming is being shaken to its foundations.News from Brussels about the new form of the Common Agricultural Policy after 2028 is coming in. The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Richard Takáč (Smer), confirmed the information that in the new programming period (2028 to 2034), farmers will receive 900 million euros less, with the maximum support per farm limited to 100,000 euros in direct payments. This is the proposal so far.odkaz na stránku |
