A clear declaration by Deputy Minister Kołodziejczak. “I will personally keep an eye on it.”
Deputy Minister of Agriculture Michał Kołodziejczak promised that he would ensure that aid reaches farmers affected by the flood. He made such a declaration in Polsat News.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development intends to help farmers whose farms were affected by this year’s flood. Michał Kołodziejczak from this ministry pointed out that such assistance is already provided through companies of the National Support Center for Agriculture.
Kołodziejczak promises to “keep an eye on” aid for farmers
– We are trying to coordinate help that comes from all over the country. Farmers send silage, grain, wheat, hay, straw, fodder, i.e. what is needed for the animals to survive. They also collect seed material so that farmers affected by the flood, who had, for example, rapeseed in the field, can re-sow it with, for example, wheat – informed Kołodziejczak.
He emphasized that patience is now needed. – Only this week will show us the scale of destruction, detailed calculations and reports. We still have to wait, he said. He announced that, among other things, free studied land that has been degraded. He emphasized that “comprehensive assistance” had been announced by the government. – There will be help, and I will personally take care of it – he said.
Kołodziejczak notices that the money may not be enough
– When I talk about comprehensive action, I also mean help for animals that may get sick after flooding. We need to think about disinfection and restoring buildings for animals. Here we are talking about the 100,000. PLN announced by the Prime Minister for farm buildings. They will also be for farmers. Although I believe that this money may simply not be enough – admitted the deputy minister.
Michał Kołodziejczak also mentioned a program thanks to which people will be more willing to provide help to flood victims. It’s about cooperation with the state-owned Orlen. – Today, yesterday, those who bring aid to farmers will have their cars refueled for free. It was not easy to coordinate to limit the scale of abuses, he noted.
