Poland’s Chicken Farmers Face Major Losses from New EU Trade Deal

Polish poultry producers are bracing for devastating financial impacts following the implementation of a new trade agreement between the European Union and South American Mercosur nations.

Research conducted by Polskie Radio reveals that major Polish poultry operations could face annual losses of approximately 130,000 Polish zloty, equivalent to about $31,000 per farm. The study indicates that many agricultural businesses may not survive the economic pressures created by the new trade regulations.

The trade deal is expected to significantly reduce profit margins for Poland’s chicken farming sector, with industry experts warning that numerous operations could be forced to shut down permanently. The agreement opens European markets to increased competition from South American poultry producers, creating challenging conditions for domestic farmers.
