How to feed the world in times of pandemics and climate change? This was the topic of this year’s Berlin Agriculture Ministers’ Conference which assembled online today. The conference was attended by State Secretary Anna Gembicka.

Ryszard Bartosik, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, took part in the expert meeting between Poland and the Netherlands.

Today, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Grzegorz Puda has met with the Chargé d’affaires of the Embassy of Israel in Poland, Ms Tal Ben-Ari Yaalon.

On 24 December 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom reached a consensus on the package of agreements governing their future relations, including the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Covering the areas such as trade in agricultural goods and fisheries, the Agreement will be a foundation of relations between the EU and the UK after 1 January 2021.

“In contrast to my predecessors, I place emphasis on balance in the agricultural economy and support for family small and medium-sized farms and not, as was the case previously, large enterprises,” Grzegorz Puda, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, emphasized.

During the period from January to September 2020, the value of Polish exports of agri-food products amounted to EUR 25,070 million. This represents an increase by 6.7% against the corresponding period of 2019.

– The European Commission expects small and medium-sized farms to be strengthened, an idea that fits in perfectly with the agricultural programme implemented by the government headed by Law and Justice, emphasised Grzegorz Puda, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, during a press conference following a meeting with European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski.

Minister Grzegorz Puda participated today in an online meeting with the Minister of Food and Agriculture of the Federal Republic of Germany Julia Klöckner and the Minister of Agriculture of the Czech Republic Miroslav Toman.
